I wanted to make a correction; the above, jabiso (python).

Abeeso (puff adder)

When many fiqiir reer waqooi were brought to the jungles of the deep south after that 'dabodheer' drought in 74 decimated some peoples herds, the simply could not get used to the climate. They complained about very large snakes, many insects, musquitos etc and that combined with the co-op farms they were placed in when they were nomads through and through. Eventually they, though numbrring in the thousands, virtually all left/escaped the camps for the north. So yh I have heard stories of extremely large Jabiso in the south.

Garannuug = Gerenuk (bastardization of the Somali name) is type of Gazelle that lives in Somali inhabited regions of East Africa (Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya) and farther South in Tanzania etc.
