Yukontherium
Field Report
Yukontherium is a cryptid said to inhabit the remote wilderness of the Yukon, described as a massive prehistoric mammal resembling a giant sloth or mammoth. Local legends suggest it survives in isolated valleys, evading human detection while leaving behind large footprints and signs of feeding. Although no scientific proof exists, Yukontherium captures the imagination as a relic of the Ice Age possibly lingering in North America’s frozen wilds.
