Gambia is the smallest continental Africa. Recently, she has attracted increased attention cryptozoologists, and the reason for this is the mysterious here a creature called the Ninki Nanka.
That’s what the locals called the nine meter reptile, the habitat of which are mangroves in inaccessible inland areas of the Gambia. Strange creature possesses the body of a crocodile and the neck of a giraffe, on its head flaunt as many as three horns. It’s very difficult to see the reptile, because the main she spends most of her time plunging headlong into the swamp.
First meetings with Ninki Nank
Europeans first heard of the Ninki Nanca in 1935. Andre Salier French doctor, was in the Gambia during the malaria epidemic. It was then that he learned from the aborigines (the people of the fulle) about the swamp monster. According to them, the reptile lived in tropical evergreens forests in the reserve Abuco. The man who manages her kill will become exceptionally strong and will live two hundred years.
However, if the daredevil will kill the monster itself, tearing it sharp teeth or piercing the horns, the whole family of the warrior will suffer: her members expect illness and then painful death.

It should be said that he himself did not see Ninki Nanki, he painted an animal from the words of the natives. Subsequently famous English cryptozoologist Chris Moiser suggested that Gambian monster is miraculously surviving reptile Mesozoic era, most likely – plesiosaurus. Chris Moiser – Author many scientific articles, the objects of his research are bigfoot, english giant cats, australian yovi, moth man out Point Pleasant.
Finding Ninki Nanca by Chris Moiser
In May 2004 the expedition which the famous the cryptozoologist organized at his own expense. Moiser hoped to get more information about Ninki Nank, and if you are lucky, then see his.
… The purpose of the trip – the village of Saljo – is located on the outskirts large mangrove swamp. Here in 1935. visited french the doctor who heard stories about the monster. Moiser was looking for someone who personally met with the owner of mangrove swamps. Such a person found.
It turned out to be a decrepit, toothless old man, rarely getting up from the mat on the floor of his thatched hut. He told the Englishman that I saw a Ninka Ninka in a swamp about twenty years ago. According to old man, the monster was scary and huge – more than an elephant. In his a terrible crocodile’s mouth jutted out several rows of white sharp teeth, each with a human finger. The old man had no doubt that Ninki Nanka would have bitten him in half if he managed to quickly get out of the swamp. He also tried to convey the noise and snort, which was published by the monster.

This story impressed the cryptozoologist, but still Moiser was more amazed to learn that the “ancient old man” wasn’t Forty years old. The villagers were sure that on the unfortunate disease of the cruel Ninki Nank sent him. By the way, not one of them did not agree to be escorted by Moiser, and he had to go to the swamp alone. It turned out to be practically impassable, besides Chris was bitten, as he feared, malaria mosquito. Two weeks later, the scientist fell ill with a fever, he no longer had the strength to continue the search for the swamp monster.
Elusive dragon
In the summer of 2006 “dragon hunters” led Cryptozoologist Richard Freeman (Center for Anomalous Zoology) set off for the Gambia to investigate reports of the mysterious creature and get eyewitness testimonies.
Researchers meet ranger Kiang West National Park (“Kiang West” – The Gambia National Park), which described its meeting with Ninki-Nank, which happened three years before. The man said he saw a huge animal of green color, length which reached 50 meters. He was shown several illustrations with depicting reptiles and various mythical creatures. Of them the ranger chose a drawing with a Chinese dragon (see title page illustration).
The expedition enjoyed the attention of the media, in particular its activities covered on BBC Online, however compelling evidence of the existence of the Gambian monster was never found. Ninki-Nanca still remains a mysterious creature like Loch Ness monster or yeti. Or maybe even more mystical since there is not even a photograph of this dragon without saying already about the video material …
