Lore

Kongamato ("breaker of boats") is a pterosaur-like cryptid reported in Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Congo— a large, leathery-winged creature with a long beak that attacks boats and fishermen on rivers. Described as red or black, it fuels speculation of surviving prehistoric reptiles in African swamps and waterways.
