CONGO DINOSAUR SEARCH

The idea of dinosaurs surviving millions of years into the present in remote
jungle regions has had universal appeal since Sir Arthur Conan Doyle fooled the
Society of American Magicians in 1922 with some test animation sequences for
the very first movie of The Lost World (1925). Since then, movies like The Valley
of the Gwangi (1968), Baby (1985) and Jurassic Park (1993) have made
box-office capital of the idea.

But three Manchester lads – Adam Davies, Andy Sanderson and John
McDonald – have taken that idea seriously enough to arrange an expedition to
go to the Congo next October. Adam – a project manager for Cable & Wireless
in Cheshire who says he "needs the buzz of adventure" – has not long returned
from Sumatra where he failed to track down the orang pendek, a mysterious
ape-like creature. His quarry this time is the Mokele-mbembe, a shy, vegetarian,
brontosaur-like sauropod that could be up to 10m (30ft) long, thought to live in
the Likouala swamps of northern Congo.
