Anatomically Correct Mokèlé-mbèmbé

+1
−1

The Mokèlé-mbèmbé (meaning "one who stops the flow of rivers") is a legendary water-dwelling creature of Congo River basin folklore, loosely analogous to the Loch Ness Monster in Western culture.

It is often described as looking like a small sauropod, with a body roughly the size of a hippo. Obviously a saurpod living, in even the most remote jungles, is rather unlikely. Other than being simply a dinosaur, what other animal could describe the Mokèlé-mbèmbé?

This seems off topic. It is asking for creature comparisons, and the title is misleading. It might be on topic on a zoology-related Q & A site.
