Monstrous boa reported by terrified Peru villagers LIMA (Reuter) - Luis Iluma was playing soccer in a a village deep in Peru's Amazon jungle Tuesday when he saw a black boa constrictor the size of two passenger buses slithered by. According to Nuevo Tacna inhabitants A 130-foot long serpent with a diameter of about 15 feet crashed through the jungle undergrowth, felling trees and forging a ditch wide enough to drive a tractor through. ``The villagers and fishermen are terrified,'' Jorge Chavez, municipal mayor for Mainas, 170 miles northeast of Lima, told Reuters by telephone. ``There were five witnesses present and the rest of the 300 villagers felt the effect of this thing as it dragged itself along and dived into the river Napo,'' he said. A shocked Iluma said: ``It was black, very black.'' Peru's two national radio news stations reported the sighting with skeptism, suggesting the locals mistakenly identified heavy construction machinery as a snake. But the boa mystery intensified when local authorities said the dense jungle forest did not allow access to such large equipment. ``Something strange has taken place. There really is something to the villagers' versions,'' Chavez said. ^REUTER@
