The Mapinguari: Brazilian Bigfoot That Guards Amazon’s Lost Cities THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 70

from The Weekly Strange · host Jon F Merz

Deep within the "Terra Firme" of the Amazon Rainforest, where human footprints are rare and ancient ruins are swallowed by the canopy, lives a creature that shouldn't exist. It is known as the Mapinguari - the Brazilian Bigfoot. Witnesses describe a 7-to-9-foot-tall monster with matted red fur, a paralyzing "stench of death," and skin so thick that bullets bounce off it like pebbles. Is this a mere indigenous legend, or are we looking at a living prehistoric survivor? Don't forget to Like, Subscribe, and Hit That Notification Bell!
