Loch Ness

Episode 93: Living Dinosaurs Part 3 - Romantic Zoology

Matt, Katie, and EJ continue their investigation into Mokele-Mbembe and the Neo-dinosaurs of Africa. Cryptozoologist Ivan T. Sanderson gets in on the action after his own encounter with a flying creature that he swears was a pterosaur not a bat. HIs contemporary Bernard Heuvelmans believes him and includes a chapter on living dinosaurs in his book, On the Track of Unknown Animals. 
 
Meanwhile, cryptozoologist Roy P. Mackal tries to capture photo and physical evidence of the Loch Ness Monster. His efforts fail, but connect him with other, like-minded researchers. The community belief in surviving dinosaurs is growing, but is there any actual evidence? And if those dinosaurs are still around, do they have snack pouches?
