Amali is a dinosaur-like cryptid from the lakes of Gabon and the rivers near them. It is similar to another african dinosaur-like cryptid, Mokele Mbembe.
Description
The creature is amphibious and has three claws on each feet. Its footprints are "about the size of a good frying pan."
It is known that Amali shares its habitat with another aquatic cryptid, Jago-Nini. The Amalis also have a tendency to break ivory trees.
Sightings
The adventurer Alfred Aloysis "Trader" Horn allegedly discovered a cave painting of an Amali, chiseled it out, and sent it as a gift to the U.S president, Ulysses S. Grant. If true, this incident most likely occurred in the early 1880's, after Grant left office. The "old men'll tell you what their grandfathers saw but they still believe it's there" quote implies that they were last seen in the 17th century. With such a long time since a sighting, It is more than likely that Amalis are now extinct.
Explanations
- A remnant population of sauropods, or another dinosaur.
- An exaggeration or misidentification of something already known to science.
- A hoax, which would explain some, but not all of the evidence.
