Mama D'Leau Mama D'Leau (derived from the French ''Maman de l'eau'' or "Mother of the River"), also known as Mama Dlo and Mama Glo,〔("Caribbean Folklore", Africa Speaks. )〕 is the protector and healer of all river animals, according to the folklore of Trinidad and Tobago. She is usually depicted as a beautiful woman with long, golden hair who sits on a rock at the river's edge. When angered, Mama D'Leau becomes serpent-like with each strand of her hair turning into a living snake. An armour of shining scales covers her upper body and arms and from her waist downwards twists into coils. Her tongue becomes forked and she holds a golden comb which she passes through her snaky hair.〔Courtesy The Heritage Library via the ''Trinidad Guardian''〕〔(Hans E. A. Boos, ''The Snakes of Trinidad and Tobago'', 2001, p. 81. )〕 ==In popular culture==
* In Wayne Gerard Trotman's novel ''Kaya Abaniah and the Father of the Forest'', Mama D'Leau appears as Mama Dlo.
