Indonesian man is eaten by a snake

[Cobra]

What is it with Indians and cobras?

Not sure how you found that video of me.

Cobras give me strength.

I don't carry one because I am one... :wink:

Cobra's actual day job. Counting deadly snakes.

Nice find. I remember years ago that scientists and Anaconda experts kept making the claim that anacondas do not exceed 20ft long. In fact, if I recall correctly there is a reward for Anacondas longer than that.

A 30 ft one is a man eater. Anacondas have the most girth and can swallow deer. One at 30ft could swallow even a big man I bet.

He's an accountant or a finance guy right? Counting snakes? Sounds about right.

Love you, Cobra.

Yeah it's strange. There have been claims going back to the colonial period of giant Anacondas that well exceed the upper limits that modern day scientists believe that they grow up to. Apparently the largest 'recorded' living snake lives in captivity in the US.

The thing with Anacondas is that they swim underwater as well as venturing on land, not a pleasant thought. To think, I could be in the Amazon taking a piss in the river and a much smaller snake could be lurking beneath.

Do any of you remember when those Brazilian construction workers claimed to have found a 10 metre long Anaconda in a construction site they were working on last year? The girth of the snakes body was a metre.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ver-10m-anaconda-Brazilian-building-site.html

A giant snake measuring 33-feet long has been discovered on a building site in northern Brazil.

The enormous reptile weighing 400kg was found by construction workers following an explosion in a cave in Altamira, Pará.

Footage filmed by one of the workers shows the snake's gigantic body, which measures one metre in diameter.

A video shows the anaconda was chained to a crane and later lifted up to reveal its yellow spotted belly.

Many users left comments criticising the workers' for chaining and apparently killing the snake instead of leaving it in its natural habitat.

However, it remains unclear whether they killed the snake or not.

How did you guys find a picture of my dick?

That was supposed to be private. Never trust Brazilian bitches.

Gigantic, man eating snakes?
Yeah, I can't believe I missed out on that...

Reminds me of how sad I am while I'm swimming in the ocean, knowing that Megalodon is extinct.
Life's unfair man!

Instead we have man eating land whales.

Forget taking on a snake. I would be impressed if a forum member was the first person who tried to board a plane with his service cobra.

Did somebody say snakes on a plane?

They either don't know what meter or diameter mean.

A meter would be closer to the size of the tires in the background, bigger than the snake in Conan. Not to mention, a snake 10m long, and 1m tall would just look weird and not be able to slither very well...

When I lived in Indo for ~2.5 years I encountered big snakes twice. Once we were driving and came across one sprawled fully across a one lane road where sometimes I'd go for walks in the morning alone, and the second was actually in a mid sized city, 3 youths were side by side carrying an almost dead 10 foot python down the shoulder of the road.

Any of you guys reckon you could go toe-to-toe with a python that size?

Yes - easily. Nature has given me a highly efficient brain contrary to the rest of the animals out there. So that snake would have to get me fast while I cannot reach for my knife - best 2 knives that I would carry around when entering a jungle.

Mano a mano is not the best way to go for humans. We are weaker than so many animals out there if we are unarmed.

So, a Brazilian guy swam underwater with a Anaconda.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...e-face-23FT-LONG-anaconda-weighing-200lb.html

Bartolomeo Bove is a professional underwater videographer and travelled to the State of Mato Grosso do Sul in Brazil to dive in the Formoso River in July.

The camera scans across the seven-meter speckled snake who is lying on the river bed which stretches through the Brazillian Savannah, Cerrado, in the proximity of a city called Bonito.

It then jumps to a clip of the animal waving its tongue in the camera's lens when Bartolomeo steals a peek of the reptile over the underwater plants.

The 90kg animal dips its head and slithers backwards and away from the filmer - while flashing his ivory white scaled stomach

This is not enough to put Bartolomeo off as the video jumps to a moment where he lunges into the anaconda's vision to grab a closer look at its face.

Its beady flame-coloured eyes stare into the camera and it waves its head into the air with the slim black tongue greeting the viewer.

The animal appears inquisitive as it tries to touch the camera with its nose in a clip from further away.

After seeming to have had enough attention from Bartolomeo, the reptile glides away into the murky turquoise sea and performs an almost U-turn with its body.

Another clip shows the lengths the videographer is willing to go to get his shots - with a couple of shots of him slowly moving alongside at the snake's height and just skimming the sand below. Meanwhile another clip is filmed from above and captures the swerving snake.

Bove revealed that the rivers and the bodies of water around the Bonito area are the only places in South America where Anacondas can be found in crystal clear waters, and therefore diving with them is possible.

They wake up from hibernation from the end of July to beginning of August which makes it the perfect time to dive with the majestic creature.

'The river water temperature is 22-24 degrees year round and when during winter the air is generally cooler than the water the anacondas spend more time in the water.

'As shown in the footage the anaconda swims calm and peaceful, completely indifferent to our presence, some times she comes closer curious about my camera licking the lens.'
