8. Yacumama
Yacumama means “mother of water” and is the name of a serpent that lives in the Amazon Forest. All the tales surrounding its origins say that the Yacumama is the mother of all aquatic animals. Like the basilisk of European mythology, the Yacumama is a giant snake with horns on its head. To take down prey, it sucks in lots of water and forcefully sprays an animal to stun it. Experts guess that, if there is a real Yacumama, then it’s most likely just a really big anaconda.


7. Giglioli’s Whale
Enrico Hillyer Giglioli was an Italian zoologist and anthropologist whose name is associated with this mysterious marine animal. Giglioli says he saw this whale while onboard the Magenta in 1864. The ship was 1,200 miles or 1,900 kilometers off the coast of Chile when he spotted the whale. He could not recognize the species and noted that it had an elongated body, measuring a whopping 60 feet or 18 meters long. Giglioli was also shocked to see it had double-fins. Other scientists argue that this whale may not be a separate species but that the double-fins may just be a genetic mutation.


6. El Culebrón
Over 10 million confirmed species live in the Amazon rainforest. What else do you expect in a region that’s 2.124 million square miles or 3,418,246.6 square kilometers all around? Imagine all the things we haven’t discovered yet. Another alleged being that dwells in this dense environment is called “El Culebrón.” Think of something with an anaconda’s scaly, long body paired with the head of a cow. El Culebrón eats anything it sees, though people would probably still dare go near it because it can also detect where some buried treasure is.


5. Hombre Caiman
The story of El Hombre Caiman, or the Alligator Man, comes from Colombia. Hombre Caiman dwells along the country’s coast. Where did he come from? He used to be full humans. The story goes that El Hombre fell in love with the daughter of a rice merchant. He was dining on a rice dish at a nearby restaurant when he saw the woman swimming in the sea. El Hombre decided to join her and then swam with her every day. One day, he just turned into an alligator. Another legend states that El Hombre Caiman was a womanizer fisherman. He went to a sorcerer to turn him into an alligator so he could spy on naked women bathing in the water!



4. La Llorona
As the old English saying goes, “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.” It’s a sentiment present in many cultures, and Mexico is no exception. There, they have the myth of La Llorona. Some of you may only be familiar with this cryptid from the new La Llorona movie released this year! La Llorona is a ghost spirit who was once a woman named Maria. Maria was the most beautiful woman in the village who was cheated on by her husband. To spite him, she takes the life of her children. There is another, similar version, except that one is about a man leaving a woman for someone else. In the afterlife, that woman is unable to go on until she finds the soul of her children.


3. Nahuelito
Nahuelito is Latin America’s version of the Loch Ness Monster. Nahuelito lives in the Nahuel Huapi Lake in Patagonia, Argentina. Witnesses say that it is an enormous serpent, though some believe it may be a plesiosaur. The first reports of such a monster began in the late 19th century. The last ever official sighting was in 2006.


2. Yo-Te-Vo
Yo-Te-Vo means “I see you” and if that’s not creepy then we don’t know what is! It refers to a man-eating-tree, similar to the smaller carnivorous plants in real life. These types of trees are found in the Guiana Highlands of South America. The plant traps large insects as part of their diet. However, other animals and humans are on the menu, too.
