Ngo-1959, uRemy Van Lierde wasebenza njengeKoloneli kuMkhosi woMoya waseBelgian kwisikhululo somoya saseKamina eBelgian ehlala eCongo. Kwi Ummandla waseKatanga weDemocratic Republic of the Congo, ebuya kwimishini ngenqwelomoya, uxele ukuba ubone inyoka enkulu xa ebhabha ehlathini.
Imfihlakalo yenyoka enkulu yaseCongo
Nangona abaninzi beyibiza ngokuba "yi-100ft snake Congo," uColonel Van Lierde uchaze inyoka njengekufutshane neenyawo ze-50 ubude, kunye ne-2 foot ububanzi kunye ne-3 foot ubude bentloko ye-triangular, apho (ukuba uqikelelo lwakhe luchanekile) luya kufumana isidalwa. indawo phakathi kweenyoka ezinkulu kwezakha zakho. UColonel Lierde uchaze le nyoka njengenezikali eziluhlaza bumnyama namdaka kunye nomzantsi onombala omhlophe.
Wathi akubona eso sirhubuluzi, waxelela umqhubi wenqwelo-moya ukuba ajike aphinde adlule. Emva koko, inyoka yaziphakamisa iinyawo ezingaphambili zentloko yayo ngokungathi iyabetha, nto leyo emnika ithuba lokujonga isisu sayo esimhlophe. Nangona kunjalo, emva kokubhabha ezantsi kangangokuba uVan Lierde wacinga ukuba kwakukumgama omangalisayo wenqwelomoya yakhe. Wayalela umqhubi wenqwelo-moya ukuba aqhubeke nohambo lwakhe, ke ngoko isidalwa asizange sibhalwe ngokufanelekileyo, nangona ezinye iingxelo zibonisa ukuba umfoti okwibhodi wakwazi ukuyifota.
Inokuba yintoni kanye kanye?
Isidalwa esingaqhelekanga sikholelwa ekubeni sikhulu kakhulu I-rock yaseAfrika, uhlobo olutsha ngokupheleleyo lwenyoka, okanye mhlawumbi inzala yenyoka enkulu iEocene IGigantophis.
Eyona nyoka inkulu ehlabathini yi 48ft
Iqela lezazinzulu, ngelixa lisebenza komnye weyona migodi mikhulu yamalahle emhlabeni eCerrejon eLa Guajira, eKholombiya, lafumanisa into ebabazekayo – eyona nyoka inkulu kwezakha zabakho, Titanoboa. Iintsalela zesi sidalwa sakudala zafunyanwa ecaleni kwezityalo zefosili, iifudo ezinkulu, kunye neengwenya ezibuyela emva malunga ne-60 yezigidi zeminyaka eyadlulayo ngexesha lePaleocene Epoch. Kwakungeli xesha apho uMhlaba wabona ukuvela kwehlathi lawo lokuqala elirekhodiweyo kwaye wabonisa ukuphela kolawulo lweedinosaurs emhlabeni.
Ekubeni inobunzima obuziikhilogram ezili-2,500 1,100 (ngaphezu kweekhilogram ezili-48 15) nobude obufikelela phantse kwiimitha ezili-XNUMX (malunga neemitha ezili-XNUMX), iTitanoboa iye yothusa abaphandi ngenxa yobukhulu bayo obuncamisileyo. Oku kufunyaniswayo kunika ukukhanya kwimbali yangaphambili yeplanethi yethu kwaye yongeza esinye isahluko esinomdla ekuqondeni kwethu ukuvela koMhlaba.

Emva kokufunda malunga nokudibana neNyoka enkulu yaseCongo, funda malunga 'Isigebenga saseKandahar' esingaqondakaliyo ekutyholwa ukuba sibulewe yimikhosi ekhethekileyo yase-US e-Afghanistan.
