		Reported from the Likouala swamp region of the Republic of the Congo is a beast known as the Emela-Ntouka in Lingala for "Killer of Elephants." It is reported to be brown to gray in color, the size of an elephant with a crocodile-like tail, and to possess a single ivory horn on its nose.
		According to the natives of the region it is an amphibious creature with the reported habit of disemboweling any elephants that happen upon its territory, yet it is said to eat malombo, leafy plant, and leaves.
		Given the inhospitable nature of the Likouala region, it could be a great while before such a feat is accomplished.

		Likouala region (66,044 square kilometres) is the largest region in the country.
		The population is small (70,700 inhabitants) and unequal: it is concentrated in the administrative centres, such as Impfondo, the capital of the region.
		The only way to access the region is the river in a seasonal way - to date, it is inaccessible by road - and planes (C-class aerodrome - single-engined planes), which is a significant handicap for the economic activity to regularly develop.

		It is believed that Mokele-mbembe is a living sauropod dinosaur that lives in the Likouala swamp region of the Republic of Congo.
		When some of the local people of the Likouala region would draw in the dirt or sand a representation of Mokele-mbembe they drew the shape of a sauropod dinosaur.
		Mokele-mbembe means "One that stops the flow of rivers." French priest in the region called it "monstrous animal." Mokele-mbembe is also used as a generic term to refer to other animals like Emela-ntouka, Mbielu-mbielu-mbielu, and Nguma-monene.

		The second region where hunting of dwarf crocodiles appears widespread is on the Sangha River, downstream from Pokola, in the area around Pikounda.
		Overall, we found that the Likouala aux Herbes had a low density of Nile crocodiles in areas downstream from Epena (we observed them between the villages of Edzema and Djeke), and dwarf crocodiles were widespread, but at low densities, in both seasonally inundated and swamp forest.
		Based on limited data and interviews, in the Likouala region the crocodile reproductive period occurs somewhat later than in the Kabo/Pokola area with dwarf crocodiles laying eggs in March and hatchlings emerging in June.

		In 1932, a British scientist, exploring near the Likouala region where the creatures are said to live, came across some abnormally huge footprints.
		The pygmies, natives of the Likouala Swamp region, report that the essential diet of Mokele-Mbembe consists primarily of the Malombo plant.
		He was told by the natives that they were made by a creature named the "mgbulu-eM'bembe." Later, Sanderson saw something in the water that seemed too large to be a hippo, but it disappeared before he could investigate further.

	4 - Identifying Gaps
		The region remains little-known: it covers an area over half the size of the United States, first became known to science when Stanley traversed the region between 1874-77, and remains relatively inaccessible with a road and rail infrastructure less than 1/30th the density of that in France.
		It is spatially skewed toward protected areas, the western coastal zones, and along roads and rivers, leaving a vast gulf of ignorance in the Likouala region of Congo and in much of DRC.
		However, though many protected areas are large, land-use practices in bordering areas often threaten species that roam outside of the park or reserve during certain periods of the year or during dispersal periods of their life cycles.

		Brazzaville - The government of Congo on Thursday appealed for international aid for refugees from the Democratic Republic of Congo, stating that at least 20,000 people have crossed into the northern Likouala region [which is one of the nine regions of the Congo Republic / Congo-Brazzaville].
		The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has sent several evaluation missions to the region bordering on northern DRC's Equateur province and delivered materials for shelters.
		The fighting has led Brazzaville authorities to restrict river traffic on the Oubangui, which marks the border between Likouala and Equateur province and is a tributary of the Congo river.
