Beastly Theories (Ep.80) The Explorer - with Alex Brecher

In episode 80, I chat with Director - Alex Brecher to discuss his new documentary: - 'The Explorer'.

His documentary follows cryptozoologist Michel Ballot and his team on their journey into the heart of Africa to search for a mysterious sauropod-like creature, known as the Mokele-Mbembe.

Alex, describes the challenges involved in exploring this beautifully pristine and undeveloped part of the world, as well the dangers posed to life and limb, by insects, snakes, crocodiles, forest elephants and the heavily armed poachers who frequent the forest...

We talk about local knowledge of this strange beast, its dinosaurian appearance and whether it could even represent a species of outsized monitor lizard, as yet undiscovered!

Alex mysteriously alludes to new evidence being discovered by the team in the heart of the uncharted Nki area, on the aptly nicknamed: "Dinosaur Island", in the form of footprints and 'something else!'

I thoroughly enjoyed this documentary which really does deliver on every level and manages to invoke the spirit of exploration in the viewer!
