An expedition after a rumorSourced
He went looking for a supposedly surviving giant sloth
A newspaper commissioned Hesketh Hesketh-Prichard to investigate reports of a hairy beast in Patagonia. It was conjectured to be a surviving giant ground sloth. His extensive travels found no trace of the creature. An appealing report did not turn into a confirmed animal discovery.
The journey could be real while its target remained unverified.
