The word "Patagonia" - which is, in case anyone was unaware, a South American region near Chile and Argentina - actually comes from the name of a (sort-of) cryptid.

Uncontacted Tribe Discovered in the Amazon

Earlier in the month, a previously uncontacted tribe emerged from the Amazon, seeking help after a raid by a Colombian drug cartel.

In Brazil, seven naked tribesmen armed with bows emerged, asking for weapons and allies. They claimed that a group of non-Indians, probably drug dealers, attacked their tribe, massacring most of the older men. Many of the younger men caught a respiratory disease from the outsiders, a common problem.

In Peru, about one hundred natives came out from the jungle.
