The Kongamato ("breaker of boats") is a cryptozoological, pterosaur-like creature reportedly seen by members of the indigenous population and researchers in the Jiwundu Swamps in the Mwinilunga district of western Zambia, Angola, and Democratic Republic of the Congo. It has been suggested that it may be a modern-day Rhamphorhynchus, an unidentified bird (such as the very large and peculiar saddle-billed stork), or a giant bat. No photographs have been taken of it. Most accounts are based on large wounds and eyewitness accounts.

== Description == The kongamato is said to have a wingspan of approximately 1.20 to 2.10 meters. This pterosaur has no feathers, but rather smooth, red or black skin and a long, toothy beak. Locals gave it the name "Overwhelmer of Boats" because it supposedly capsized fishermen's canoes while hunting. Furthermore, the creature is said to bring death to anyone who looks at it.
