Mapinguari
South American folklore has this scary ape-like Sloth living in the deep and dark rainforest of the Amazon of Brazil and Bolivia. It's said to have a reddish hair color. Even being of a Sloth type physical nature, it is said to be quick and speedy. I warn you, DO NOT take chances. 
Recent evidence and sightings have been ongoing. The most terrifying monster story in the modern world happened on February 19, 2016.
Is this creature (Ground Sloth) really extinct? Maybe adaptation has occurred. I bet that science is wrong. 
About CREW:
The CREW Land and Water Trust is a private, non-profit conservation organization dedicated to the preservation and stewardship of the water resources and natural communities in and around the Corkscrew Regional Ecosystem Watershed (CREW). This 60,000-acre watershed in partnership with the South Florida Water Management District (which owns and manages the land) and the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission (which monitors wildlife, hunting, and provides law enforcement on CREW). CREW is the largest intact watershed in southwest Florida, straddling Lee and Collier Counties. CREW’s majestic 5,000-acre sawgrass marsh is the headwaters for the entire watershed – which includes the National Audubon Society’s famous Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary – located south of the marsh.
Thanks to Jessi Drummond and the staff at CREW for allowing us to use the CREW trails for geocaching.
