Vahencia [#75]

Vahencias think of themselves as the guardians of Jellibeen Island and in many ways there’s some truth in that. Each year a fair number of tourists unwittingly end up inside a vahencia’s gut and the explanation is pretty straightforward. The vahencia simply lays on the ground with its jaw wide open next to a strategically placed tourist information sign. The tourists just walk straight in. Thus the damaging effect of tourism on the island is kept to a minimum.
