The Funkwe is a colossal snake from the folklore of the Lambas of Zambia. It is approximately eighty miles in length and has a tail like that of a fish. These serpents live at the sources of the Kafulafuta and Itabwa rivers, coiled up in holes deep beneath the surface.
When a funkwe wants fish to be abundant, it starts swimming downstream, followed by schools of fish. Eventually its head reaches the great Kafue river while its tail is still at the source of the Kafulafuta – a span of eighty miles. It returns from the big river and brings the big fish with it.

Yeah I was wondering about that too, and then I saw the speck next to it. This guy could make a big pile of fish sticks, if it’s edible…

The funkwe is also mentioned on page 300 in Alice Werner’s Myths and Legends of the Bantu. According to her source (another book by Doke) it can apparently assume the shape of a man, but won’t eat human food. His death summons a vengeful army of serpents.

So the Funkwes are as long as the rivers themselves… perhaps they ARE the rivers!
