Gambia Dragon Hunt

Location: England / Gambia

The UK Centre for Fortean Zoology sent a team to Gambia to find the mythical ninki-nanka. This creature was said to live in the swamps of the region. The team was lead by Richard Freeman. They did not manage to find the dragon and discovered that the accounts of the creature did not agree on its appearance.

Freeman’s concluding comments were “We haven’t discounted the possibility that there is a flesh and blood ninki-nanka in the swamps of West Africa, it’s just at the moment the evidence is pointing to something more folkloric”.
