Claimed aerial photo of giant snake in Congo. Living relative of extinct species? The Katanga giant snake photograph was taken from a helicopter in 1959, in the Katanga Region of what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

In 1959 that was the Belgian Congo. After the Congo became independent in 1960, Katanga seceded under its leader Moise Tshombe, but the international community wouldn’t permit that—the colonial borders in Africa were sacred even if many of them made little sense. The first leader of the Congo was the leftist Patrice Lumumba, for whom the Soviets named a university.
