Anaconda: "Dude, go away, I'm trying to chill."

I used to have nightmares after watching the movie anaconda but assured myself it was just Hollywood 😂

I'm going to go ahead and assume the profesional waited until this thing was well fed before approaching it. That thing 100% is big enough to eat a human and still be hungry.

That snake is huge I don’t know if it’s a good idea to go swimming right up next to it like that.

This is why native folklore should never be dismissed. There have been tales of 30 to 35 foot anacondas by natives that have never been documented. Likewise in New Zealand they tell tales of birds being so big they used to be able to fly away with children and smaller people

That snake is like, “aww shoot guys. ‘They’ finally found us.” 😒😐

There is not enough money in the world to make me go near that thing!

Is that guy wearing a tie underwater? lol

[compulsivedrummer]

This is amazing! However, he is holding an anaconda like it is a plush toy. Big ups man! Thank you for potentially taking one for the team.

Ive seen anaconda as a kid too many times to play with my life like that

Why he look like he just got off of work….

[PunkRock]

One more reason I don't go in the water. 😂

Anaconda: Oh lunch... Nope, just another researcher. Sigh.

[Se_prpductions]

They should rename this to biggest anaconda discovered as a titanoboa should be much larger and bigger

[mzwandilemalambe]

Largest known snake should always be the correct title

[sivledur]

So that's where the 20 foot long snake that one guy is looking for...

[thedirtybubble]

That looks just like the green anaconda from the movie.

When you go diving at 3 o’clock but have a meeting at 4 o’clock.
