GIANT BOA !
On Construction..!!!
According to Nuevo Tacna inhabitants on Thursday 14
August 1997, a 130 foot (40m) long serpent with a diameter of about 15
feet (5m) crashed through the jungle undergrowth, breaking thousands of
trees and forging a wide ditch before diving into the Amazon River. Five
witnesses described a large black boa of around 130ft. Several hundred
other villagers feel the effect of the large creature as the ground shook
as if it was an earthquake.
Iquitos City, the capital
of the Loreto Region in
Peru, South America is located at the left side of the Amazon River
border, at 115 metres above sea level, and 3646 kilometres from the Atlantic
Ocean and 1017 kilometres from Lima (The Capital of the Republic). Its
official date of foundation as the first fluvial ports on January 5th.
1864.The population count recorded on the last census
was approximately 350,000 inhabitants. Iquitos, has a modern International
Airport "Francisco Secada Vigneta", and has not any other form of terrestrial
access. As it is located in an isolated geographic part of Peru,
Iquitos is surrounded by the least adulterated forests by human being,
so it is still conserving absolutely virgin areas.
Mr. Jorge Samuel Chávez Sibina, the Mayor of the
of the Maynas Provincial County flew in by hydroplane over the Nueva Tacna
Community together with local journalist, Carlos Villarreal, correspondent
from the prestigious Station Radio Programas del Peru (RPP). They heard
the inhabitants testimony and investigated the devistation caused by the
creature.
Chávez Sibina made a call for the National and
International Scientific Community to be aware of this phenomenon. Chávez
Sibina said "Although there is not a film or photographic fact about this
animal, it is evident that something unexplainable has happened here, that
is why I think scientific should study this case".
A witness said "It is possible that this boa was for many
years in a hole around 10 meters underground that it is at the beginning
of the trace and from there, it started to throw down the trees and moving
the ground like an earthquake just to submerge itself into the Amazon River"
Nueva Tacna Village, located
at the river edge.
Giant trees knocked down into the Amazon River.
Amazing clearance path made after the phenomenon.
A scientific and technical expedition
confirmed the damage was probaly made by a giant snake, close to Nueva
Tacna Village, located at the border of the Amazon River, 90 Km. north-east
from Iquitos. Scientists from the Instituto de Investigaciones de la Amazonia
Peruana (IIAP) and the Universidad Nacional de la Amazonía Peruana
(UNAP) were together with the Mayor of Maynas, Mr. Jorge Samuel Chavez
Sibina to affirm the version of the inhabitants who still affirm they saw
the giant boa passing by making strange sounds heading to the Amazon River.
According to some experts opinions, it would be an overflow of watertight
in a swampy zone that it is 500 meters from the bank of the river. The
expert in soils from the Amazon University, Mr. Roberto Pezo, discards
that this destruction around 500 meters length and 20 Mt. wide, has been
made by an animal, he
explains that it is because
of the weakness of the soils caused by ten hours of torrential rains that
ends in this overflow of the watertight of the swamps located at the top
of the zone.This version is supported because of the weakness of the soils
and the water of the rains, it made that the watertight in the aguajales
that surround the swamp, has mouthed in an alluvium that throw down hundreds
of trees, those that finished in the Amazon River. Journalists from Peruvian
television channels could not affirm anything about the great boa.
MORE TO COME SOON.
