The yale is a beast of medieval heraldry.
His yale was of the familiar Beaufort type, but the roundels which bespatter it were of many colours instead of being all gold, and as a further difference from the royal beast it was given a collar and chain.

The mokele mbembe is a creature thought to live in the lakes and swamps of the Congo River basin, whose existence has long been disputed between scientists, local Pygmies, creationists and Cryptozoology.
Some cryptozoologists suppose that the creature might be a type of dinosaur that could have survived the mass extinction of the dinosaurs about 65 million years ago.
Other large creatures, such as elephants, exist in large open clearings in the rainforests, each called a bai, as well as in thicker wooded areas, so the existence of the mokele mbembe is a possiblity when taking into account its local environment.

 Yale Peabody Museum: Treasures & Explorations: Large as Life
When a forest is disrupted — by the building of a highway through it, for example — small forest dwellers may cope with the change fairly readily, but a larger animal may find itself confined to only a fraction of its former range, too small a space to sustain it.
Most of the creatures in Large As Life follow the large animal pattern, especially the bears, the cats, and the rhino.
Moreover, once a population crash occurs, animals that give birth to many offspring will be able to recover quickly, while large animals, with their small litter sizes and slow maturation rates, can only rebuild their population slowly, if at all.
