In the
amazon rainforests of
Peru, the
indigenous people believe there exists a
creature whom they call The Black Anaconda. They say this large
snake is 40 feet long, with
trees growing out of it's back. It is reported to to
cluck like a
chicken.
It is also believed that the
Bushmaster, a large venomous snake that they call Shushupé, will actively hunt full-grown men at night. The Shushupé, however, will run from
light, therefore a flashlight is considered standard equipment when out at night.
