Thank you for the entry!
thank you for the prompt @juliakponsford. I've been making creatures recently so this was immediately interesting and I do have a good working knowledge of crytpozoology. Apart from the well known usual suspects, this chymera was inspired by tales of various African cryptids.

TRUE STORY
my friend Nana lived in Tanzania as a child and he had a pet monkey. His Grandfather wouldn't let it in the house and one morning he couldn't find it. He scoured the garden and eventually found his way to the bottom of the garden, still no monkey. He was near the fence when a large neck and primitive reptilian head appeared on the other side of the fence. He watched this neck and head walk for a bit, dumbfounded of course. He said it looked just like a Dinosaur.. If you read the literature, he is not the only person to have seen it. Nana is a very trusworthy and reliable person. I have known him for 20 years. He's totally solid.. anyway, you've got a new follower and I'll try and keep up with artexplosion.
here's my latest chymera - a Bircoral monktopus of the Genus Makeupus animalis named by @molovelly in my name the chymera competition last week !
It's beautiful! Actual true story my grandpa used to own a bush monkey as a pet and it use to climb the walls lol :)
I think we all spent our childhoods wishing for a pet monkey.. I eventually got a little brother, which was quite similar. Much more like a little monkey than my older brother anyway !
