Eaten Alive By Anaconda: Why I Did It | TODAY

His wife was saying, Paul will be fine, while secretly checking the life insurance policy to see if it covered this.

[meredithr]

His boss better NEVER question his dedication again.

As my grandpa always says: 'Never underestimate human stupidity'

[Soviet_sealz]

Bro really woke up saying "I wanna get eaten by a snake today"

[anhdn]

I would like to see him try getting a giant shark to eat him...for conservation purposes of course

[illmuchi]

We officially live in idiocracy. I swear we are living in a different dimension where we celebrate and reward stupidity and people will do anything for attention.

Paul’s friend calls: Hey, can I talk to Paul?
His wife: No, he’s busy
Friend: is he home?
Wife: No, he’s almost inside a snake 🐍
Friend: wdym?
Wife: He’s being eaten alive by anaconda

I came from watching the Joe Rogan podcast, now hearing how he just did this to promote the rainforest being cut down and not to be a “daredevil” is so heart warming and sad. It’s amazing the work hes done and the lengths he’s gone to protect this great ecosystem but sad that the media, reporters and even other scientists dismiss him or see him more as a joke rather than someone who genuinely cares about the environment and the the creature within it. Thank god for this dude who’s bringing this to the public.

Let's all be honest, none of us searched this.

[doperagu]

Well PETA isn't exactly the most reputable organization to quote when talking about torturing animals...

[BamBam]

"Did you see anything?"
"Nope"
"Hear anything?
"Nah man"
"Smell?"
"Not important at the time"
So.... you learned nothing.

[ralarc]

Coyote Peterson would have gone in without the suit XD

[sarasparks]

If you have depression seek help, don't seek being eaten alive by a beast.

I'm still wondering how this helped protect anacondas

[kellyk.]

He didn't get eaten though. It only started constricting him and he cancelled the "mission" because he started to feel like the suit was failing and feeling like his bones were going to break.

[htcmohan]

Anacondas are extremely shy creatures and they mean business when provoked. This guy is crazy, and am quite sure that the Anaconda was in a relatively good mood on that day.

[ebrimasannoh]

Even if you paid me the whole money of this world I won't do this

[joshx]

Can never tell when the dude is actually telling the truth

Female host: “so you set out to find an anaconda of sufficient

Female host: “And how do you position yourself to be eaten?”

[HyperionTG]

I'm convinced they killed the snake to get him out.
