Then, when the photos were exposed as a hoax, the site was quickly shut down.

Ropen: Flying Reptiles Alive Today
One of the routine ways of looking at reports of giant flying creatures from exotic lands is as shown in the new comic, Cryptid, as giant bats (below). But there is another school of thought too. In Africa, they are called Kongomato (see below – William M. Rebsamen art from Cryptozoology A to Z and a mysterious photograph of one that has surfaced on the internet). In New Guinea, they are named Ropen. Some would have us consider if there are pterosaurs among us still today. A new book, Searching for Ropens, proposes they do exist.

In an article written by Howard McEwen, with photographyby Ernest Coleman (no relation), and published on Sunday, July 16, 2006, in The Enquirer of Cincinnati, mention is made of the re-naming of a lake on the campus of Northern Kentucky University.
