Religion:Tapire-iauara

From HandWiki

The tapire-iauara[lower-alpha 1] is a legendary creature in the folklore of the Amazon rainforest region.[2] Jacques Cousteau in his book Jacques Cousteau's Amazon journey describes how the caboclos believe that the "tapir-nymph patrols the flooded forest to guard it from humans."[3][4] In her book Journey of the Pink Dolphins: An Amazon quest, Sy Montgomery relates that "it grows big as a cow and attacks people in boats".[5]
