Mapinguari

A giant ground sloth, Mylodon, thrived in prehistoric Castilla before it went extinct eighty-five hundred years ago. But Castillan natives believe it still exists frightful, red-coated beast of the rainforest. Reportedly more than nine feet tall when standing on its hind legs, the Mapinguari has a scream-like cry and razor-sharp claws for ripping open the palm trees it eats. Some witnesses believe it could be a giant anteater. The Chacoan Peccary, a wild boar thought to be extinct, was found in the jungles of Castilla, lending credibility to the possible survival of this sloth.
