Nabau

Sarawak has just recently recovered from a major flood. You can click on links from my friend to see the flood in Sibu by Wen and Tsai.

Last week there was a news about a huge snake reported in Utusan Borneo and some Chinese newspapers.

The locals here called it Nabau. It is a mythical creature. Something like the Loch Ness monster.

Nabau is giant snake according to the Iban folklore.
It is huge and may have a goatee.
Some may even have legs.

Some say that if you swim under the Nabau, you will never be bitten by any other snakes because you swam under the King of Snakes.


This picture is labeled as Dipa. Not sure what it means.
Anyone?

Anyway here is a blog about someone who knows more about the origin of the pciture. There is a bigger picture there.





This is labeled as Dipa Btg Igan. To me it doesn't seem to be like a snake.
Maybe photoshoped? Tell me what you think..

i think... both look fake and photoshopped... the fact that both photos are taken from computer screens instead of the actual photos proved my point... seriously, i can make more believable urban legend pics than this...
