Extinct Round Island Boa: Presumed the Last Living Witnesses
Lifelong Friends May Hold the Key to a History Extinct
Mystery Surrounds Disappearance of Round Island Boa
The Round Island boa (Casarea dussumieri), also known as the Round Island keel-scaled boa, was once native to the small Round Island off the coast of Mauritius. This enigmatic species has not been recorded since 1975, despite active conservation efforts. The disappearance of the boa remains a mystery, and two lifelong friends may hold the key to its last known sighting.
According to the locals, the last known sighting of the Round Island boa occurred over 40 years ago. Two lifelong friends, who were then young boys, claim to have seen the snake during an adventure on Round Island. The boys described the boa as being large and dark-colored, with a distinctive pattern on its back. Their account is considered credible, as they have no reason to fabricate such a story.
The friends' sighting has sparked hope that the Round Island boa may still exist. Conservationists have conducted numerous searches on Round Island since 1975, but no trace of the boa has been found. However, the friends' sighting provides a valuable clue as to the boa's potential whereabouts. If the boa is still alive, it is likely to be found in a remote and inaccessible part of Round Island.
The search for the Round Island boa continues, and the friends' sighting remains an important piece of the puzzle. If the boa is rediscovered, it will be a significant scientific discovery and a major boost to conservation efforts on Round Island.
