My Neighbor Mothman 017 (Yukon Beaver Eater & Capelobo)


Listen Later

The Yukon Beaver Eater or saytoechin is a relatively unknown cryptid from the oral traditions of Canadian First Nations peoples. It is described as "bigger than even the biggest grizzly bear" and got its name from its diet. It caught beavers by flipping up their lodges and seizing the exposed beavers. When shown a book of prehistoric animals, natives chose a giant ground sloth as the closest look-a-like to the beaver eater.

The capelobo is a vampiric creature from Brazilian myth, particularly in the states of Pará and Maranhão.
