I rate South America right up there with Africa as havens for cryptozoological phenomena. It seems like every time I look into it, I come up with new types of cryptids I had never heard of before and I have been a cryptozoology enthusiast for many, many years. Exciting stuff.

How many types of primates are in the Amazon ?? I remember that Ivan Sanderson listed several types of suspected bi-pedal apes throughout South America. Also, what ever happened to the “giant-footed” Patagonians that Magellean reported on his round the world excursion ???

I am looking forward to oversized snakes and severely undersized Tyrannosaurs, as most reports I have heard of the Amazon Tyrannosaur put it at around 15 feet long.

Where did they do in South America? This is a place to go and do research. When I was in Cusco, Peru last year, I got to make a real quick tip down to jungle, Pongo de Mainique to look into reports an unknown primate down there. Only able to spend a day and night at the Pongo, but well worth it. Peter Hocking, who gave me the info on the primate also wrote, “In my files I have reports on 50 crypto-mammals, 15 crypto-birds, and 6 crypto-reptiles.” I believe he was just refering to Peru.

I wonder if they collected any stories of giant ground sloths?

With reports of dinosauria (see Loren’s ‘Field Guide to Lake Monsters, Sea Serpents’ pages 224-226); a giant anaconda from legendary surveyor turned explorer Col. Percy Fawcett in the 1920s; and a variety of interesting lake sightings – South America, with its remote, uninhabited areas may still play host to some over-sized variants of known species, and even some stunning over-sized new species or incredible relatives from creatures of the past. Let’s hope this documentary has some thought-provoking research topics.

Yes indeed. I was interviewing an old Indian Chief who was describing the Pterodactyl’s that would occasionally swoop down from the top of Mt Roraima and fly away with small children from his village. There has been many documented sightings of Pterodactyl’s in explorers journals over the past few hundred years. The other thing I found interesting was the fact that there are next to no reported deaths by Anaconda and if you ask Western Researchers about it, most of them say it doesn’t happen. Completely different story when you speak to the villages. Basically everyone knows someone that has been taken by them. They just don’t have the procedures that we’re accustomed to, such as death certificates, autopsies or any of the other laws surrounding death, so it’s not recorded. Life has always been cheap over there, so in these remote areas, they simply bury the person and that’s that (if there’s anything left of course).

Since my first response, I’ve now seen examples of the Ica indian burial stones depicting fights with therapods.
