	Blue Sloth: Mapinguary - The Fetid Beast
		But the mere mention of the mapinguary, the giant slothlike monster of the Amazon, is enough to send shivers down the spines of almost all who dwell in the world’s largest rain forest.
		But all accounts agree that the creature is tall, seven feet or more when it stands on two legs, that it emits a strong, extremely disagreeable odor, and that it has thick, matted fur, which covers a carapace that makes it all but impervious to bullets and arrows.
		And when an experienced navigator inexplicably disappears or drowns in calm waters, he is usually said to have fallen victim to the iara, a cross between a siren and a mermaid.

	Mapinguari- South American Bigfoot? - Bigfoot Forums
		The mapinguari is also said to be another Bigfoot, a figment of the imagination of people like Dos Santos--and of a prominent scientist named David C. Oren, whose relentless quest to find one is growing as legendary as the beast itself.
		Dos Santos says the mapinguari he saw had the claws of a giant armadillo, the face of a monkey, and a nauseating smell, like garlic vine and fetid peccary.
		His encounter with a mapinguari took place in 1975, when he was working as a hunter for a mining camp along the Jamauchim River, which flows into the TapajÃ³s, just south of Itaituba.

		David Oren made several expeditions in Brazilian Amazonia, after the publication of his study in the scientific journal Goeldiana Zoologia in 1994, where he proposed that the mapinguari was a giant ground sloth, possibly related to the fossil genus Neomylodon.
		On the whole, he recorded about 50 first-hand accounts, as well as material evidence for the existence of the mapinguari, such as footprints and feces.
