Xenorhinotherium still exists in the Gran Chaco. They've recently found fossils from 3700 years ago. The Natives call it the Long Tapir. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenorhinotherium

You know we have a board called /an/ that you can post this in?

Very interesting. But they could be speaking of a different species

They said giant sloths was sighted by European explorers going around tip of South America.

Wouldn't surprise me. Woolly mammoths were thought to have survived much longer than we thought as well.

>>510714036
The Guarani I talked to here described it as a black Tapir with a long neck and legs. Also mentioned a screaming Rodent like Ungulate which likes to chase people.

>>510714037
the one dude on /x/ said there were giant sloths roaming deep in the Appalachian
not sure if I believe it but it would be cool

There is a Lion in Europe

I should do an expedition... Like in Up!

This is also true. Low body temperature helps it elude sensors.

woah, he's a big guy

>>510714444
But very shy. Darts into the forest at the first sign of danger.

>>510714253
And it's caged sadly!

>Long tapir
How long before the white women discover them bros

>>510714785
Thank goodness they run at the first sign of danger. The Mesotherium would chase a white woman and roar at her with pneumatised throat.

I mean to say not that what they are describing might not be special, but that it just might not be Xenorhinotherium pacifically. It could be something related. There could be many large species thought to be extinct that are really still extent. If it is possible for a mammal that size to go undiscovered, God knows what else is running around

>>510714147
Yup. It’s amazing how bones need very specific environments to be preserved. They said forests are the worst for fossils with grasslands 2nd.

>>510714252
lol I doubt it. They were more southern USA.

>>510714702
just playing hard to get

>>510715060
It could be a forest variant of the Macrauchenia or as of yet undestribed Macraucheniid.

>Gran Chaco
My Uncle Paco went to live in the Argentine part of this region. There is literally Fuck All there. It's a miserable dry hellhole. My uncle tried to set up a market gardening business, and it all got completely destroyed in a flash flood and he was ruined and came home, where he now works as a waiter. The whole continent seems cursed.

>>510715171
Wait till she stumbles upon Mesotherium Territory. Look like large Gophers, have hooves and chase people by roaring at them like a Howler Monkey.

>>510715455
It's the Paraguayan part with the odd fauna.

>>510715671
they really had all the fun cool stuff back then didnt they

Congrats bro I remember reading a book of myths in grade school where I learned about the Kraken and then not long after I learned we'd never seen a live giant squid. "Well, that's the Kraken", I thought. A few years later Japanese scientists saw a giant squid in the wild and lo and behold it was like a kraken in stature. The world is cooler than we think

>>510715849
They probably still exist in the uninhabited/native parts.

>>510715879
Indeed. It's sad people want to destroy it before at least discovering what is there.

>>510716045
It is but the appetite for human progress is voracious. It's unfortunate we have forgotten how to live with animals and even one another

>>510716335
Sadly true!
