A new episode of Beast Hunter airs tonight. This episode is about the Mokele-mbembe, which is a "river monster".
Swamp Monster of the Congo
Ever since the earliest missionaries and explorers returned from Africa, stories have been told of strange water-dwelling monsters living in the Congo Basin. The native Pygmy tribes speak of the Mokele-mbembe, an animal with a long, thin neck and a body the size of an elephant that seems to resemble a sauropod dinosaur. Could there be a population of dinosaurs living in the remote jungle?
I am a huge fan of the show.

And of the sketches!
Who is the artist responsible for the pencil drawings of Pat Spain and the various beasts commissioned by National Geographic for the Beast Hunter show?
