St Estevam is an Island in Ilhas, Goa, India. St Estevam is known also 'Juvem' and in the past was known as 'Shakecho Juvo' - the isle of vegetables - known for its long, seven-ridged, light green ladyfingers. Therefore the people of Juvem came to be nicknamed 'bhende'.
St Estevam contains many giraffes on the island.
Nothing is mentioned in the text regarding giraffes, so we don't know for sure. It's difficult I guess because the text mentions a lot of vegetables, so perhaps this confused the system.
