Capcom sponsoring actual monster hunt

Though they'll probably never replace a man's arm with a cannon or create a half-dude/half-demon, Capcom is breathing real-world life into their Monster Hunter franchise by sponsoring an actual "monster hunt" in the rainforests of Guyana for giant anacondas (we all know how that one turns out) and the South Americanized Bigfoot: The "didi."

Taking a break from wasting their lives puttering around Loch Ness, members of The Centre for Fortean Zoology will be conducting the expedition, and Capcom is picking up the tab. Our tip to mythological creatures: Unless you want to be turned into so many sequels that Jason Voorhees won't return your calls, we'd suggest you keep your head down this November.
