I believe the Mono Rey to be a smaller form of Mapinguari-both are described as looking like tailless Howler monkeys.<br /><br />As far as I can tell, Percy Fawcett did not see a "Diplodocus", he saw tracks, which might have been left by a toxodon. It is my contention that Schmidt and Pfleng's account matches a very large very misplaced elephant seal.<br /><br />That the creature publicized in the Scientific American was "Thought to be a hoax" proves nothing: many things were thought to have been hoaxes at one time or another, including duckbilled platypuses and gorillas. In this case there is a strong indication that the "Body" in question was an artificial, manufactured item (a gaffe)<br /><br />Some of the reports on the other hand do indicate a very large unknown lizard, often described as a "Snake with Legs" but also compared to a Komodo dragon or a really big iguana. The last suggestion is the likeliest. There may be more than one type since elsewhere there are reports specifying a large type of Tegu lizard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
