This is a just-for-fun thread...not for a minute do I personally belief in the existence of any of these cryptozoological creatures, but I nonetheless find the subject somewhat fascinating. Thus, I would like to start a listing of lesser-known creatures, outside the usual Loch Ness & Sasquatch nonsense.
Allow me to start off with this one : there is a remote lake in the jungles of the Republic of Congo called "Lac Tele". The locals there speak of a dinosaur-like creature inhabiting the lake and the surrounding river systems, which is entirely a herbivore, and feeds off a specific, local type of plant ( this in itself is actually quite a specific and unusual feature ). In the Lingala language this creature is called "mokele mbembe", and here's the only half-way decent photo in existence :
