The same thing with the Congolian Rainforest. The infamous Mokele Mbembe, a dinosaur-like creature has been spotted swimming in its rivers by locals and explorers in the past.
A vast majority of that rainforest is still unexplored due to the dangerous creatures like venomous snakes, spiders, and many other wild animals that inhabit it.
