The Congo River (in the past also known as the Zaire River) is a river in Africa, and is the deepest river in the world, with measured depths in excess of 220 m (720 ft).[2] It is the third largest river in the world by volume of water discharged. Additionally, its overall length of 4,700 km (2,920 mi) makes it the ninth longest river.
The Congo gets its name from the ancient Kingdom of Kongo which inhabited the lands at the mouth of the river. The Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of the Congo, both countries lying along the river's banks, are named after it. Between 1971 and 1997 the government of then-Zaire called it the Zaire River.

Stories alleging that a Sauropod-like beast might be lurking in the swamplands of the Congo started as far back as 1776. Some of these are found in travelers tales, including those by the famed Trader Horn which emerged in the late 1800’s. In the early 1900’s, things really started to get interesting when Lieutenant Paul Gratz wrote about the indigenous legends of the Congo River Basin which spoke of a creature known as the “Nsanga,” said to inhabit the Lake Bangweulu region. Gratz described the creature as resembling a Sauropod. In 1932, cryptozoologist Ivan T. Sanderson claimed that, while in Cameroon, he witnessed an enormous creature in the Mainyu River that might have been a Mokele-mbembe. Adventurers like Sanderson and Roy Mackal began regular trips to the Congo in search of the living dinosaur and found that when they showed drawings of various animals and dinosaurs to the natives, they would routinely point to the image of a Brachiosaurus, saying that it was Mokele. Even more amazing, if they asked locals to draw a Mokele in the sand, they would draw something resembling a Sauropod. Some of these natives lived in very remote villages and would have had no pre-existing knowledge of dinosaurs, making it extremely unlikely that they could illustrate one in the sand – unless, of course, they had actually seen the animal. As a further test, they were shown images of non-native animals, such as North American bears, but they just shook their heads saying they had never seen such creatures. http://rue-morgue.com/2011/02/monstro-bizarro-mokele-mbembe/
