The monstrous Gbahali of Liberia could be a living dinosaur. This “terror croc”, as it has been nicknamed, is a giant lizard that could easily be confused with an ancient dinosaur or gargantuan crocodile.

While this creature has been known to locals for an unknown amount of time, it became more widely known in the late 20th and early 21st Century as more people began to report sightings. It can grow up to 30 feet in length and moves like a crocodile but does not drag its stomach over ground. Covered in spiked green and brown scales, it is very difficult to spot and can ambush you with ease. We have read some reports that it can have 4 eyes but have not seen this substantiated with any evidence as of yet.

With a mouthful of serrated, interlocking fangs and powerful claws, we are yet to hear of anyone surviving a Gbahali attack. Proceed only with utmost caution.
