It grows along the Shiripuno River inside the Yasuni Biosphere Reserve in Ecuador.
When I observed this 3 inch creature moving. The body moved like an armadillo in sections a type of exoskeleton. It seemed to have two heads and I could not tell which was the front or rear. At one end it seemed to have a white eye and mouth. At the other end it seemed to have a black eye, mouth and nose like a snorkel toughing the round. when I picked it up the body was cold and I turned it over to look underneath. It had many leg which seem bidirectional. Then as I held it tightly on my right hand I reached with my left hand, pinched the snorkel which was hard like an apple stalk and attempted to move it and it snapped breaking. the little creature made a loud scream EEEEE! which effected my ears. the creature started to bleed yellow a lot, the liquid was bubbling and the fumes effected my throat making hard to breath so much so that I had to move away. At that point in but it down as it emptied bleeding the yellow liquid and died. I'm so sorry I didn't know my curiosity would cause it to die. So I would like to know what it was. Please for I am so deeply hurt and I hope it was not the only one left of it's kind.
