VIDEO: This Is the World’s Biggest Anaconda! It Can Swallow You Whole Easily!
There are two creatures in the whole world that most people can agree that they are frightening and gross. We’re talking about spiders and snakes, these two being the main phobias in the world today. While there are some people that actually like these creatures and even want to keep them as pets and see them everyday, most people will panic when they see them and try to run as far from them as possible.
While they are all really creepy, there are some snakes that are far worse than any others. This is because they are incredibly long and wide and can reach surprising sizes. This is why they become even scarier because if a small snake can harm you and even kill you with its poison, it’s the big ones that have the power to even eat you alive and swallow you whole.
Every once in a while footage of giant snakes appears on the internet and a lot of people are trying their best to find the world’s biggest snake that would break all current records. This way, if they get out alive they can actually make a lot of money.
This time it seems that construction workers in Brazil have stumbled upon one of the most frightening creatures in the planet — a man-eating anaconda.
According to natureworldnews.com, the snake, measuring 33 feet (32.8 feet, to be exact) was discovered after the workers set off an explosion to destroy a cave in Belo Monte Dam to make way for their project.
The Belo Monte Dam is one of the most controversial dams being built today. It is being constructed on the Xingu River in the state of Pará, Brazil and would allegedly destroy a huge area of the pristine Brazilian rainforest. Its construction began in 2011 under the watch of Eletronorte.
A footage showing how the workers lifted off the Jurassic-like creature from the rubbles has been circulating online. Although the video was taken months back, it is only getting the attention now after some animal lovers and activists criticized the workers.
Some of them left a comment on the video criticizing the workers for killing such precious creation of nature.
Until now, it is not clear whether the anaconda was actually dead when it was found or if the workers intentionally killed it. The rest of the footage showed a crane lifting the humongous reptile and at one part, it showed the anaconda chained up.
Daily Mail notes that the longest snake ever captured is a snake named Medusa which was captured in Kansas City. According to its official record on Guinness, it measures a whopping 25 ft 2in long.
Anacondas are semiaquatic snakes found in tropical South America. There are currently four recognized species of anaconda —green anaconda, the yellow, the dark-spotted anaconda and the Bolivian anaconda.
Being at the top of the food chain, anacondas are not endangered species. Their major threats include deforestation and hunting as their skin is used for manufacturing commercial products.
