I have always thought she is a were-jaguar. The actrees said it, is  the creature she looks most alike and is very common creature in mesoamerican myths. People tend to say she may not be a were-jaguar because the Kanima was a "were-jaguar" and they already used latin myhtology, but the truth is that to this point they are heading again and even with more streght to latin american background. Also, to clarify, even if stiles said the Kanima is a were jaguar, the shows bestiary never mentions something like that about it and in real life myth the Canaima creature is a jungle spirit of vendetta that takes the form of dangerous animals, the most common one jaguar but it also takes the form of snakes and alligators.(Also, jeff said he based the appeararence on a connan the barbarian villian so not to latin for me)

About the thing of the she wolf -la loba.

Who the hunters were referring to? As  Kate decided to kill all of them, is possible they were hunting her.I want to clarify that this doesnt mean they knew Kate was the creature, they were just hunting a werewolf or it the may know, as they discarded a girl named Cora as a candidate. Thats an open question

Why calling her "La loba"  if she is not a wolf ?Well maybe Kate never showed them her true face,they saw her from afar, or maybe they never even saw her, they were just tracking her destruction path.If you think about it, her basic traits are very similar to that of a wolf, Fang, claws, etc. If her eyes shouldnt have turned green and her face took her animalistic form, she could easily be seen as a werewolf. We already saw this kind of confusion when scott and stiles saw Malia claw marks they thought it was a werewolf,but it turned to be a werecoyote.

Why she was in south america? Well maybe tryng to rip peter head off, who knows, we dont even know how peter ended up with Derek., they may explain that later in the show

Why they were asking Derek about her? Well, it's pretty simple, even if they knew or not if the creature was Kate, they didnt knew who Cora was (not even Derek new for most of his life she was alive so i imagine the hunters didnt knew of her existance) nor that Derek was traveling for leaving her back southamerica. So for them the situation is like this: There is a she-wolf  in the area and for unknow reason Derek Hale,a member of a recognized werewolf family, came to the town too, so ther must be a connection. If they knew she is Kate, well even bigger connection (not neccesarily a postive one) so they traped Derek to see what he knew.
