I-Yacumama yinyoka enkulu, ukuya kwi-60 yeemitha ubude, ekuthiwa ihlala kwi-Amazon river basin. Iishaman zasekuhlaleni zithi iYacumama ihamba kwindawo ebizwa ngokuba ngumlambo obilayo. Kwiintsomi zasekuhlaleni, kuthiwa i-Yacumama ingumama wazo zonke izinto eziphila elwandle, inamandla okufunxa nayiphi na into ephilayo edlulayo phakathi kweenyawo ezili-100. Abantu basekuhlaleni babeza kuvuthela isigodlo ngaphambi kokuba bangene emlanjeni, bekholelwa ukuba emva kokuva ingxolo, inyoka yayiza kuzityhila ukuba yayingaphakathi kuloo ndawo.
Ilivo likaYacumama
I-Yacumama yenye yezona zilo zidumileyo ezikhoyo kumahlathi aseAmazon, kuMzantsi Merika. Le ntsomi ivakele eParaguay, eArgentina naseBrazil, kwaye kuzo zonke ezi ndawo, abantu bayazi uYacumama njengomkhuseli wamanzi kwaye akukho mntu unokubalekela kuye.
Abantu bomthonyama babubonile ubukho bakhe, la madoda anika ubungqina obumangalisayo beYacumama eqwenga amaxhoba ayo, kwaye ibonakalisa ukuba iyatshica iintlantsi zamanzi kwaye iwawisa amaxhoba ayo. Abalobi abaninzi abanayo yonke into kunye neeVessels zabo baye banyamalala abanye bathi beve ingxolo ingcangcazela emva kokunyamalala kwayo; kwaye ngenene iYacumama yanelisekile lixhoba layo.
Ukujonga
Ngama-1900, isikhephe samadoda angama-2 saya kubeka isiqhushumbisi emlanjeni, ngethemba lokubulala iYacumama. Emva kokuba idubule, inyoka yaphakama emlanjeni izele ligazi, kodwa ingafanga. Inyoka yaqubha, yawashiya amadoda enoloyiko olukhulu.
Titanoboa - iinkcazo ezinokwenzeka
Abanye abantu bakholelwa ukuba esi sidalwa yinyoka engasekhoyo eyaziwa ngokuba yi-titanoboa, inyoka eyakhula malunga neemitha ezili-12, kwaye ezinye izazinzulu ziqikelela ukuba inokuba nkulu.
Izazinzulu zikwakholelwa ukuba le nyoka inokuba yayinobuthi. Le ngcamango ixhaswa kukuba iifosili zesi sidalwa zifunyenwe zinemingxuma kuzo, ezinokuthi zenziwe kuphela kukulunywa okunetyhefu.
Ngenxa yobukhulu bayo, kusenokwenzeka ukuba i-titanoboa yayilirhamncwa eliphambili. Ukutya kwayo kwakuquka naziphi na izidalwa ezikhulu ngokwaneleyo ukuba zikwazi ukuqhubeka ziphila, njengeempuku, iintaka nezilwanyana ezincancisayo. Uphando lukwacebise ukuba i-Titanoboa inokuba yayiyinyoka yasemanzini, kwaye iifosili zayo zafunyanwa kuphela kwiindawo ezinamanzi.
