Fun fact about the lobisomem: Here in Argentina there actually is a law, that if someone is to be born the seventh cosecutive son of a seventh cosecutive son, they are to be formally declared the current president's godson; in other words, the president at the time of their birth becomes their Godfather. I've actually met one lucky (or unlucky) enough to have been so, although it is extremely rare.

The deep jungle almost scares me as much as the deep ocean. It's the same vibe as being way too out of your depth in a place you have no business being in and being at the total mercy of the Earth. Animals that you've never encountered before at every corner, the fear of not knowing what is going on around you because it's just too dense to see anything properly for more than a few feet. I can't tell which is worse, On one hand, you drown in the water and there could be Sharks or Krakens or some shit down there in the ocean, but on the other hand spiders, lots and lots of spiders.

@defaultusername123 2 жыл бұрын

It’s not usually the big things of the jungle that will end up killing you, but the little things like the quintillions of bugs (like you said) that are designed to do nothing but kill you. Ocean scares me more though knowing how much of the Earth it is and how little we actually know about what’s at the bottom of it (imo Cthulhu)

Not all Ground sloths were elephant size like Megatherium. Mylodon is a "small" species of ground sloth that lived in South America as recently as ten thousand years ago. It was ten feet long and when standing up wouldn't be that much taller than a man. It also had a relatively longer skull than other ground sloths giving it an almost horse like face. Mummified remains have been found showing that it had yellowish to reddish brown fur.

Just a fun fact In portuguese, “minhocão” can be translate to “big worm” because “minhoca” is worm, and the end “ão” means “big” So, many words with the end “ao” is just the “big” version, like: Carro = car Carrão = big car Anyway, great video, I’m a brazilian and I didn’t know many of the creatures you say in the video

Here in Brazil, some legends say the lobisomem is the seventh son conceived on a crossroads and, when standing at a crossroads where a horse rolled on the ground, will transform into a wolf, but with the flesh outside and the fur on the inside, and from midnight until dawn, go around killing every animal and person he finds along the way. He can be killed by a bullet dunk in wax made from candles that burned on midnight masses. There are other variants, but this one is the most horrible for me.

I actually have a Lobisomem story in my family - or almost My grandmother had seven brothers, that were all born in a row and indeed, out of fear uncle Benedict, the seventh and youngest, would become a lobisomem, he was baptised by uncle Deomar, who was the oldest of them. That was said to break the curse and grant a normal life to the boy. What is funniest about it is that the entire family is German in origin and mostly didn't speak Portuguese at home at the time, but anyways the fear of a son becoming a blood drinking monster was enough lmao

Tree sloths can have a terrible smell for several reasons: 1, the leaves they eat actually rot/ferment inside them, 2, their low body temperature and slow movement allows mold to grow in their fur, 3, they are coprophagic. So, the foul odor is very possible, if ground sloths acted similarly.

Paraguayan here, I'll add my two cents in. I have a cousin who has a black Great Dane and it's funny seeing people's reactions on the street when he takes it for walks at night. The headless Dog isn't associated with Luison (at least I've never heard of it) But it is associated with "Plata Yvyguy" or buried treasure, Which are said to be hidden by people during the war in 1870s, often they're supposed to be cursed, Some people have on occasion found some gold and such. The backwards feet is a feature of many myths as the idea is that you cannot tract these being's footprints, we have "Pombero" a hairy, wild man with backward feet who comes out at night and is a bit of a Puck character. can give some more Paraguayan folklore here for folks asking

@@daniellikesgoogle7080 well, I'll elaborate a bit further on Pombero with some personal information, my grandparents claim to have encountered Pombero, and Dad (who's a big skeptic of this stuff may I add) also claims to have seen him while on guard duty when he was a cadet. Pombero is said to protect your fields if you show him respect and if one leaves rum and cigars for him, he's meant to bring you good fortune, but he is also spiteful and a trickster and will whistle in the night to confuse you in the bush (it's said the further away it sounds, the closer he is) Then there's the seven beastly offspring of Tau and Kerana. Kerana was a "native sleeping beauty" of sorts that was kidnapped by an evil spirit, Tau, and so they were cursed so that their children would be monsters. the first one was Teju Jagua (Lizard dog) he's a large creature with the body of a Teju lizard and seven dog heads and a fiery gaze, Teju Jagua is the protector of the woods and is arguably the most benign of the seven. As he eats wild fruits and will only attack trespassers. there's also Mboi Tu'i (Snake parrot) a giant snake with the head of a parrot that eats people. Ao-Ao, which a large part sheep, part bear, part boar (depending on who you talk to) that also eats people. the fourth child is Jasy Jatere, the moon child, accounts vary but most say he's a blue eyed, blond feral child that will seek lost children in the woods, will get them drunk with honey and play with them. When he gets bored he either drowns the child, steals his youth of feeds him to Ao Ao, again depends on whos talking. he also can casts magic and his source of power is a staff he carries (think a bit like the godling from the witcher, but nastier) then there's Kurupi which, oh boy, prepare yourself because I'm not making this up this is the actual myth. Is human like but has a Penis so long he winds it around his waist like a belt. He's a violent rapist and will rape lost women to death or some derivation, again depends on who you talk to. sixth is Monhai, which is either another giant Snake monster or a Bigfoot like monster, the only consistent thing is that he was burnt alive in a cave. The seventh Monster is Luison (this is why the seventh son of a seventh son turns into one) Luison is as he said above, but he's also akin to the black shuck of England, if you feel his touch, it means that you or someone you know is going to die. these are the universal ones, but there are others such as Malavision (literally bad vision, if you see it you will be lost in the bush forever) a lot of this is oral traditions that go back generations and no two people will tell you the same thing.

On Pombero in my family, I'm skeptical of these but something about the conviction my relatives have when saying these stories unnerves me, as if something strange did happen and this is the way they reason it For some reason my grandparents couldn't keep dogs in their farm as each dog they got ended up dying of illness, this is were Grandad got his habit of picking up random critters he found and raising them as pets. We have a photo from the nineties of the pet Maned wolf that Grandad raised, Grandad had also raised a black vulture and a Koati, raccoon like thing but they didn't have a camera back then. Grandad apparently gave an offering of Rum and cigars to Pombero in order to get whatever killed the dogs cleaned and it apparently worked. Dad was in the Paraguayan army and one of his tasks as a Cadet was guard duty. The barracks he was at was on the outskirts of town and so it bordered part of the bush. He claims that while him and another cadet were patrolling the area one night, something in the bush threw rocks at them and they fired back, with no result. One guy was pushed into a fence with barbed wire from behind by Pombero supposedly in that same part of the barracks. The guy claimed he was walking alone to replace some one on guard when he was pushed and tangled in the barbed wire, Dad was the one that found him apparently when going back from guard. As I said, He's the kind of guy that scoffs at these things and thinks they're a joke, but he's dead serious that something was off with that part of the barracks.

Im from north-eastern Argentina, bordering Brazil, and we have the minhocao legend here too, only called miñocón. There are some natural ditches or trenches-like formations cutting through the middle of my town and legend has it that those were formed by the miñocón passing by. Another version has it that it was instead Teyú Yaguá, another of the monstrous sons of Tau and Kerana, said to be a huge lizard with the head of a dog or something. I've read that those are actually ancient caves or subterranean rivers whose roof collapsed long time ago, leaving those formations like trenches. It's interesting to see how the myths of the aboriginals and the europeans have mixed to such an extent that they form totally new legends and folklore.

Ok, so I want to comment on the cadejos. I'm from Guatemala and I have first hand experience with them. I'll admit I haven't finished watching this segment but I would like to talk about it. I've seen the black cadejos when I was a child. I was miss behaving and ran away. When my mom went to look for me she said she saw me staring directly in the eyes of a huge black dog with a chain on its neck and fire in its eyes. The cadejo growled at her, turned around and just vanished. My mom took me to a witch (because she is very superstitious) and before my mom told the witch anything about what happened, the witch told her I am being protected/guarded by the black cadejo. Which is a very common thing many witches tell me when I visit one. But as for the white cadejo, the stories I have been told is that they follow drunks or people about to die. They follow them before their death's and protect them as their soul has been claimed by the devil. But this story goes both for the black and white cadejo. Both are very evil in my culture according to many elders.

Interesting in Nicaragua it's the opposite when you're wandering around late at night you don't want to run into the black cadejo. If you're lucky the white one will come along and protect you from the black one if not then it mauls you. If you find the white one first it protects you and follows you until you get home. You also don't have to be a drunk to see them, they just appear to anyone who is out really late at night.

Its amazing how some cryptids follow extinct creatures.. like the man who turned into what is described as the megatherium (a giant ground sloth) and how bigfoot might be a gigantopithecus. One I love the thought of is how the Loch Ness moster is a plesiosaur. All of these share some sort of agreement that creatures thought to be extinct might actually be alive still

@mitchkelleher7972 2 жыл бұрын

There were all kinds of extinct sloths, some even aquatic. Of the ground sloths, there were species within the range of the reported size of the mapinguari, which would also be more likely to be able to survive in the deep rainforest, unlike the better known and truly massive species like the Megatherium or Eremotherium.

@Bunny-ns5ni 2 жыл бұрын

After hearing the description of Mapinguari, I immediately thought of a giant ground sloth, based off of the "backwards feet". Some details in the description fits so well to these strange animals, but I'm not convinced. Although I'm heavily skeptical that it still exists, I'll admit the possibility. As far as I know, the lack of evidence put forth doesn't prove their continued existence, and suggests that ground sloths are indeed extinct. However, the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Seeing that the climate shifted in the native ranges of ancient ground sloths over the last few thousand years, they would have needed to severely and quickly adapt to a changing environment, evade overhunting by predators and early humans(if they even began inhabiting the area) and still retain enough genetic diversity to keep stable populations. Almost everything about their lifestyle would need to change, including behaviors, diet, size, and overall ecological niche, which may or may not have been open for their occupation. I will remain skeptical about their existence, but I will not disregard it. Of all cryptids I've heard of, either from the laughable imaginations of creationists, to the folklore of tribes and cultures, the Mapinguari probably has the best chance of actually being real. Until evidence is shown and properly examined, I will remain skeptical. As an amateur evolutionary biologist, zoologist and lover of paleontology, I want this animal to be real, but skepticism is more important. Thank you for informing me on this cryptid I otherwise would never have heard about. I assure you, my colleagues would be interested in hearing this.

Hi! I am from Chile, and I must say that the work you did is amazing!, you covered everything in a very detailed way, It is great to see videos like this that talk of this region of the world, and for my part, the most interesting legend of my country may be the one about the warlocks of Chiloe, beacuse it is not just a mere history of the island, it is a horror tale, a cult of devil worshipers and the black arts that lie in the caves and islands of the archipelago, they are presented as evil human beings who have made pacts to gain unnatural abilities and personal benefit from them . The monsters that you mentioned, the imbunche, were actually little children who were kidnapped by the warlocks and through torture and black magic they were disfigured until they became their mindless servants, they protect the caves where the cult of the warlocks called ''the majority'' lies. They dedicate themselves to whatever field they want, from the search for power over nature to find mortal riches. And long ago it was said that they "flew at night" due to their ability to become birds, but many people now say that they fly in the day.... but of course, it is just an interesting legend of an island in the south of the continent! ... or maybe not?

My grandpa farm used to be attacked by "lobisomens" to the point he lost some workers out of fear, took him a while to catch one to show to the workers they were just guys in costumes. The costume was basically a heavy leather shirt and pants with long iron spikes sewed on it to hurt the dogs when they bite them, machetes and he said they used to make weird noises to scare people. He was from Rio de Janeiro and grew in farmlands but he never believed in legends because he was a delinquent as a teen and made many of these legends "real" just to screw with people some stuff he did was dressing like a bride and crying in cemeteries and run screaming if someone got close, jumping people at long desert roads with a cow skull in his head and using a black cowhide around his body, braiding horses manes and tails, passing pig blood* in peoples doors at night, anything dumb you can think a teen would do he did. *His family had a pig farm so he had easy access to pig blood Not saying that cryptids can't exist but we need to remember how much people loves to mess with others for fun too.

A random fact by a Brazilian, Minhocão is actually one of the names for an event that we believe has three names for the same "creature", A cobra Grande, "Minhocão" and Boitatá. All of them were super influenced by the indigenous culture that links the Boi Tatá to these two other beings, but what happens is that in the original story of Boitatá, he is a snake that flies in the sky and the people did the rest to actually link these creatures what is in reality only one into the folclore and myth of the region. Nowadays most of ppl that actually studied these reports and the possibilities of that creature believe that the event of the "minhocão" actually maybe it was something UFO or some major atmospheric phenomenon in the sky. The main reason for this was photos recently revealed by the government of one of the largest documented operations on UFOs called Operation Dish (Operação Prato), where in some of these photos we can see these supposed ships in "snake" shapes.

In early colonization period in Brazil had numerous enconters with fantastic creatures but almost all of then were normal animals like for example the history of the Ipupiara in the coast of Brazil, they inhabited beachs and rocks close to the beach and were huge and fat animals that could stand in his two flippers and attacked fishing sites of the native tribes of the region stealing their fish, had many stories written in books that were send to Portugal telling what animals had here and this animal was one of the most facinating one because was like a mythcal creature but real and being in contact everytime by the settlers. Well the story don't end so well they started to hunt the Ipupiara expulsing him from the coast of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, no is pretty clear by the description, some remains found and some eventual sights that were just sealions that the portuguese never saw and the natives that the portuguese allied that were from more further inland never saw this animals and only know then by legend or by their rivals account were pretty happy see then go away from theirs new fishing places. BTW this legend spread from all regions of Brazil and they started creating legends about Ipupiara found in rivers

South American legens and cryptids get rarely any attention, and a lot of the time it's a version adapted/imagined by someone in the US and they sound so lame and stupid compared to the original, which in turn puts people off from looking further into it. And the inclusion of more than just Brazil and Mexico shows that you actually care about what you're saying! Awesome job!! Finally someone mentions Chile, Perú, Guatemala, Ecuador, Paraguay, etc!! Also, if anyone wants more Chilean cryptids, I would also throw in the Yastay, the Cuchivilu, the Piuchén, the Basilisco Chilote... And my favourite due to how wild the creature description is: the "Cuero" (cuero means hide/leather in Spanish), truly interesting critters! If you want more "human" ones you have the Trauco and the Fiura, the Pincoya and the Pincoy, the witches of Chiloé, the Tue-Tue, the 3 Pascualas, among many others.
