An American naturalist filmed himself being ‘eaten alive’ by using a snake for a television stunt – however is now facing ridicule for buying his safety crew to save him after just part of his head became fed on. - See more at: http://www.tajavdo.com/videos/worlds-biggest-snake-anaconda-found-in-south-americas-amazon-river/#sthash.5VeDimtY.dpuf
In footage aired at the Discovery Channel on Sunday night – it airs on united kingdom television on Friday – 27-12 months-old Paul Rosolie and his 10-sturdy team tracked down the 20ft-long, 18st anaconda to the headwaters of the Amazon river. wearing a black armored match, slathered in pig blood, Mr Rosolie then moved tentatively ‘on all fours’ in the direction of the giant beast because the cameras rolled and his spouse, Gowri, watched. Seconds later, the lady anaconda – one of the world’s maximum fearsome creatures – pounced on its 5ft 9ins sufferer, latching directly to his head, before constricting his hands and body. Since the dawn of recorded history, few species on Earth have been so feared and reviled as snakes — and likewise, perhaps, few others are as misunderstood in the public conscious, though the reasons why are obvious. From the opening pages of Genesis, to a 1997 blockbuster film starring Jon Voight, snakes have been depicted as cunningly diabolic, wrathful, and ruthless. But in truth, those evil serpentine atributes have about as much in common with real snakes as does computer animation or the ability to talk. The realities of nature, as it so often does, proves snakes to be far more fascinating than any work of fiction. On a recent diving expedition in the Brazilian Pantanal, biologist and photographer Daniel De Granville had a chance to record the gentler side of snakes in the wild, coming face to face with a 23-foot-long anaconda — and walking away only bit by a greater appreciation for them. In fact, Granville says that anacondas are actually quite shy around humans, and likely have much more to fear from us than we do them. - See more at: http://www.tajavdo.com/videos/worlds-biggest-snake-anaconda-found-in-south-americas-amazon-river/#sthash.5VeDimtY.dpuf
