A huge mythical snake! The snake is said to be 40 to 50 feet long and makes a path 3 feet wide! Yikes! Oh, and supposedly the snake's eyes are made out of diamonds!
The Grootslang is said to be a huge serpent that dwells in a cave known as the "Wonder Hole" or the "Bottomless Pit" located in the Richtersveld, which is said to connect to the sea 64 kilometres (40 mi) away. According to local legend, the cave is filled with diamonds.
