This week’s news have been flooded with pictures and details about the apparently extra terrestrial creature that threatened a group of teenagers in the Panamanian Blue Hills, that was killed by the kids after they thought the creature would attack them, and so forth.
First few images of the creature would not help much, and of course headliners would try to highlight the odd features of the so called monster of the blue hill.
After checking recent images unveiled by several news vehicles from several Latin American countries like Brazilian Globo.com and Panamanian Telemetro.com, for me it is a no brainer: it is a sloth. Mutated sloth maybe, a sloth with some odd skin disease maybe (let’s consider the unveiling of the real chupacabras in the southern US and Puerto Rico), but it would surprise me bad if it is not a ground sloth.
Great reference on this blog Tetrapod Zoology ( by Darren Naish) whcih states the same thoughts with much more scientific property.
