Besilokhu sizwa izinganekwane zamademoni, izilo, ama-vampire, nezidumbu, kepha kuyaqabukela sihlangane nenganekwane ekhuluma ngomama wengane. Enye yalezi zinganekwane ngesidalwa esigaxwe izidumbu yazalwa ngo-Okthoba 1932 ngenkathi abavukuzi ababili befuna igolide behlangana nomhume omncane osezintabeni zaseSan Pedro, eWyoming, e-USA.
UCecil Main noFrank Carr, ababukeli ababili babemba imithambo yegolide eyanyamalala odongeni lwamatshe ngesinye isikhathi. Ngemuva kokuqhumisa idwala, bazithola sebemi emhumeni cishe ngamamitha amane ubude, amamitha amane ububanzi, futhi cishe amamitha ayi-4 ukujula. Yilapho kulelo gumbi lapho bathola esinye sezidumbu ezixakile ezake zatholakala.
Umama wayehleli endaweni ye-lotus enemilenze enezingalo izingalo zakhe zilele esifubeni sayo. Yayiyisentimitha eziyi-18 kuphela ubude, yize yelula imilenze yayilingana cishe ngamasentimitha angama-35. Umzimba wawunesisindo esingu-360 gram kuphela, futhi wawunekhanda eliyinqaba kakhulu.
Ososayensi benze izivivinyo ezahlukahlukene kulomuntu omncane, okuveze izici ezahlukahlukene ngokubukeka kwaso. Umama, owayebizwa "Pedro" ngenxa yokuqhamuka kwentaba, yayinesikhumba esenziwe ngombala wethusi esinezikhumba, umzimba omise okomgqomo, ipipi eligcineke kahle elishwabene, izandla ezinkulu, iminwe emide, ibunzi eliphansi, umlomo obanzi kakhulu onezindebe ezinkulu nekhala elibanzi oluyisicaba, lesi sibalo esingajwayelekile sasifana nesidala indoda emomotheka, ebibukeka icishe ukucwayiza abatholi bayo ababili abamangele ngoba elinye lamehlo ayo amakhulu belicishe lavalwa. Kodwa-ke, bekusobala ukuthi le nkampani kade yafa, futhi ukufa kwayo kwakubonakala kungekuhle. Amathambo amaningana omzimba wakhe aphukile, umgogodla wakhe walimala, ikhanda lalo lalicabalele ngendlela engajwayelekile, futhi lalimbozwe ngento emnyama emnyama - izivivinyo ezalandela zososayensi zaphakamisa ukuthi ugebhezi kungenzeka ukuthi lwachotshozwa ngesibhakela esinzima kakhulu, kanti into eyi-gelatinous yayigazi elineqhwa nezicubu zobuchopho eziveziwe.
Yize ngenxa yobungako bayo kwakucatshangwa ukuthi izinsalela ezakhe, kodwa ukuhlolwa kwe-X-ray kuveze ukuthi umama ubonakala enokuthungwa komuntu omdala ophakathi kweminyaka eyi-16 nengama-65 ubudala, ngaphezu kokuba namazinyo abukhali futhi sokuthola ubukhona benyama eluhlaza ngaphakathi esiswini sakhe.
Abanye abacwaningi bakholelwa ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi uPedro wayengumntwana ongumuntu noma umbungu onenkinga enkulu - mhlawumbe ene-anencephaly, isimo se-teratological lapho ubuchopho bungakakhuli ngokuphelele khona (uma bukhona) ngesikhathi sokuvuthwa kwengane. Kodwa-ke, yize bekuvivinywa, abagxeki abaningi baqinisekisa ukuthi ubukhulu bomzimba bekungewona owendoda, ngakho-ke baqinisekise ukuthi bekuyinkohliso enkulu, ngoba “Imibhoshongo” or “Imikhovu” azikho.
Umama wakhonjiswa ezindaweni eziningi, waze wavela nasezincwadini ezahlukahlukene, futhi wadluliselwa usuka kumnikazi waya kumnikazi waze walahleka umkhondo wakhe ngo-1950 ngemuva kokuba indoda eyaziwa ngokuthi u-Ivan Goodman, ithenge uPedro kwathi ngemuva kokushona kwakhe yadlulela ezandleni zika indoda egama linguLeonard Wadler, ongakaze adalule kososayensi ukuthi umama lo ukuphi. Kwagcina ukubonwa eFlorida noDkt Wadler ngo-1975 futhi akukaze kususwe kwenye indawo.
Indaba kaPedro the Wyoming mini-mummy ngokungangabazeki ingenye yezindaba ezididayo, eziphikisanayo ososayensi abake baziphenya. Isayensi yanamuhla ibinganikeza ubufakazi obucacile ngemvelaphi yesidalwa esiyimfihlakalo futhi ibizokwembula iqiniso ebelifihla. kodwa-ke, lokhu kubonakala kungenakwenzeka selokhu kwanyamalala.
