Well, I've been nominated for that before, and I've never said nothing worthwhile ;0)

Personally, I just keep reminding people that the Coelocanth was thought to be extinct until a fisherman hauled one up.
I'm waiting for some enterprising person to accidentaly haul up a trilobite or something equally odd.
So, if the coelocanth can exists despite Science saying otherwise. I wouldn't put it past some other critters remaining alive in some last bastion.

I do not know the veracity of that story, but if ANYTHING like that exists that is probably one of the few places it would! Those forests are extremely dense, and they are basically cut off from the rest of the world. Also the volcanic soil structure is considered to be quite different from that of any other place in the globe (and in certain areas ...for example the Virunga volcanoes .....has given rise to huge plant specimens).

In the so called 'mountains of the moon' ...the Virunga volcanoes ....the rich volcanic soil somehow causes plants thata re small and diminutive elsewhere to grow to huge sizes and the area has been a hub of great interest for scientists. I once had a book with specimen photographs and it was mind-blowing.

Anyways if any 'exotic creature' exists and the whole story is not some huge sham (ala bigfoot/sasquatch) then that is the place to find it.

Or is it a pterolope?

I know that Oklahoma has a squadron of mosquitoes that can carry a buck private off and drain him of blood in less than a minute.
Or so it seemed at the time...

“terrifying stories are still told of the “Ninki Nanka”,”

I dated her once. The stories are true.
