Another hoax like the 110 year old Piltdown man find.
Latin American countries are famous for hoaxes involving aliens, supernatural creatures, etc-even some people in the government are avid believers. Part of it is superstition and old folk beliefs-like Britain with their fairies and elves, etc. This is just another one of those hoaxes-a clay/plaster figure with some animal bones and maybe a few human ones gotten from a funeral home, etc-several of these hoaxes have been covered/debunked on TV shows like the Proof is Out There, etc...
