I made no connection between that cryptid and the geological history. I just said that the Ennedi massive is thought to be once the spring of the anciant amazonian river. No connection at all between that felid cryptid and the geological history at all. That creature (if it exists) developed long after the separation. Oh and one thing, the animal does exist. Its called Machairodus and once lived in that specific area. The question is, if it is still alive or not.

Yes, and same goes for the lungfish. Its quite obvious, that the amazon and congo once were connected river systems. You can also find bichir fossils in latin america. And to make it clear for DavidW, that happened long before and felid walked on earth.
lungfish also live in Australia, I expect you can shoehorn that into your argument as well.
Correlation does not imply causation.
show ANY evidence that the Congo and the Amazon were once connected river. There is NONE.
You are again just inventing things

Australia was as well part of Gondwana. Thanks for proving my point. The australian lungfish is a completly different form of lungfish though, while the south american lungfish is almost identical to his african cousens. Also i´m not inventing anything, just quoting a geologist.
On a sidenote, you are familiar with continental drift?
sigh
are YOU aware that it is not 'continental drift' any more ?
it is now 'plate tectonics', has been for a while. But you knew that right?
are you also aware that Pangaea was not the first supercontinent? Continental formation and breakup happened several times before Pangaea was formed.
China was part of Pangaea, so why doesn't it have the same fish in the Yangtze as are in the Amazon?
There are freshwater rays in Australia and Asia as well as S.America so using your logic there was only one river " in the beginning"
again, correlation is NOT causation.
Your thinking is garbled
No, it´s Kontinentaldrift in german. 
Beside that i have no clue what you want to tell me, so consider yourself on ignore.

So, better now.
I find it interesting, that the Ennedi mountains seem to be a save haven for many animals, that died out in the area sourounding it. Has anyone pictures of the nile crocs which live there?

But, you can also call it PlattentektonikNo, it´s Kontinentaldrift in german.

Nope, but in a part of a documentary about the Sahara they were shown a few years ago ; I remember they lived in a small proportion of a Wadi which was always filled with water, in the middle of a big canyon.

well, actually the original theory in German was 'Kontinentalverschiebung' from Wegener in 1912 but not to worry, I am just being pedantic.
BUT..... that laid the foundation for the MODERN theory of 'Plate Tectonics'
