Kept on Wikipedia:Dingonek
The dingonek is a scaly, saber-toothed creature allegedly seen in the rivers of Kenya.
Description
The sole description of this creature comes from the account of big game hunter John Alfred Jordan, related in Edgar Beecher Bronson's 1910 memoir, In Closed Territory. The dingonek was described as 4.6 m (15 ft) long, scaly like a pangolin, covered in spots like a leopard, with a long tail ending in a fin. It was said to have feet the size of a hippo's but ending in reptilian claws, and a large head with long fangs. Jordan reportedly shot the creature with a .303, after which it sprinted out of the water at him. Bronson likened the creature to stories of the lukwata, a lake monster said at the time to inhabit the waters of Lake Victoria.[1]
