Mbielu-mbielu-mbielu ("the animal with planks growing out of its back") is a cryptozoological animal reportedly seen at the Likouala River, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.[1]
A complete description of the mbielu-mbielu-mbielu's appearance has never been completely agreed upon by cryptozoologists; however, has said to have green "planks" growing out of its back, leading some cryptozoologists to believe the cryptid represents an extant stegosaurid.[2]
It has also been suggested to be similar to another cryptid in Africa, the nguma-monene. Some also suggest it may be mokele-mbembe, but the mokele-mbembe doesn't have "planks" growing out of its back.[2]
Habitat
Like another dinosaur-like cryptid, emela-ntouka, it has allegedly been spotted in the rivers and lakes of Likouala-Mossaka, the Democratic Republic of the Congo.[2]
The mbielu-mbielu-mbielu is usually submerged in the water, with only it's back showing, which is usually covered in (typically green) algal growths. It is mostly active in the afternoon.[3]
Sightings
The first sighting of mbielu-mbielu-mbielu was at an unknown date, occurring at a place called "Ikeikesse", which is near Epena, the Republic of the Congo.[3]
