Sadly, your amber necklace cannot make a velociraptor. #WyrdWednesday

@godysseypodcast.comIn the depths of the Congo River Basin, a monster dwells: the Mokèlé-mbèmbé is one of Africa's most well-known cryptids, essentially a dinosaur-like creature that lives in the waterways, terrorizing humans and animals alike. #WyrdWednesday
@godysseypodcast.comThe White River Monster, or Whitey, may be the stuff of Ozark tall tales, but it's also perhaps North America's most friendly river monster. Often described as a giant fish, eel, gar, or dinosaur style sea monster, Whitey is defensive of fish, so be careful. #WyrdWednesday

@godysseypodcast.comModern historians have suggested that dragons were proven to premodern populations by none other than unearthed fossilized dinosaur bones. Given how close modern dragons look to these bones it is entirely possible, though dragon truthers would very much disagree. #WyrdWednesday
@miles-hentrup.bsky.socialDr. Perry Sperber, dermatologist and author of Sex and the Dinosaur, opened Bongoland in 1952 in Port Orange, Florida. The theme park featured four "prehistoric monsters."

@crystalponti.bsky.socialEdgar Rice Burroughs created Pellucidar, a prehistoric world inside a hollow Earth where dinosaurs, mammoths, and primitive humans coexist beneath a stationary inner sun. Apparently one planet wasn't providing enough unexplored territory. #WyrdWednesday
