The Mngwa is described as a gigantic feline the size of a donkey, first reported in Tanzania in the early 1900s after having attacked several natives. The Nandi Bear is very similar to the Mngwa, in that it is a large feline-like beast and because it can be found in Kenya and East Africa it is often mistaken as a Mngwa. The Nandi Bear is generally known by other names or as other cryptids entirely like the Chemosit or the Koddoelo.
