No doubt manbearpig, or simply Al Gore at Live Aid.

Seriously, It would be nice if it was a giant Sloth.

She’s not huge.

And she’s certainly not a monster.

The dark of night, camp fires and deep shadows can bring about many stories of things larger than life.

There's no doubt about it, it's definitely Manbearpig.

Those girls looking at it are none to shabby, btw.

[admiralsn]

YES it’s real! And it’s currently running for president as the junior senator from New York.

Megalonyx jeffersonii.

Did you know that Thomas Jefferson collected Pleistocene fossils and he described the giant ground sloth and thus was credited with its scientific name?

[SolidWood]

mapinguary = manbearpig

They even look similar.

I wonder whether the guys from South Park knew already about this Amazonas fuzzy.

Nice Amazonians btw... LOL

[Zeon Cowboy]

Whatever it is, it couldn’t be worse than the Candirú.

Thanks pcottraux.

"It is quite clear to me that the legend of the mapinguary is based on human contact with the last of the ground sloths," thousands of years ago, said David Oren, a former director of research at the Goeldi Institute in Belem, at the mouth of the Amazon River. "We know that extinct species can survive as legends for hundreds of years. But whether such an animal still exists or not is another question, one we can't answer yet."

Related -- a variety of lemurs, including a gorilla-sized giant lemur, were ubiquitous on Madagascar; a number, including the giant species, were hunted out by the no-doubt-western-influenced humans who swarmed onto the island sometime in the past 2000 years. It's a marvel to me that human presence isn't older, but hey, I haven't checked lately, maybe it is...
