That was then, this is now ! How confident are you that there maybe HAS been one or more sightings of the African pit group? If I alluded to the fact that this may of been in what is known as the Glades proper, sorry and my bad. The source of the observation knows definitely what the gaboon looks are. Picture ? Next time if an encounter is made. But it's hard to convince a person that is in mid to upper body of water or mud to carry a camera along just to prove a point. Not that any sightings are in water you understand. And by the tone of some of these post, would even a picture and or observation data be a good idea ? What I don't understand is how anybody here doesn't think some of these mentioned species would not thrive or at least short term in the wild. I'm sure most know this but:

native geographic range and habitat of B. gabonica > " frequents MOIST, dense wooded areas and even swamplands ".
