Origin[]
The Boiuna or large snake, is a myth Amazonian Amerindian origin, described as a huge snake can turn dark vessels. Can also mimic the shapes of vessels, attracting castaways to the river bottom.
The British Colonel Percy Harrison Fawcett, explorer who made seven expeditions in the Amazon from 1906 to 1925, reported seeing giant snakes, or their evidence. In one of his diaries, he noted in 1907: "We were quietly following the current lazy, not far from the confluence of the Rio Negro when almost under the bow of igara there appeared a triangular head and several feet of undulating body. Was a giant anaconda."
