An anaconda was recently discovered in Brazil,
and while that’s generally not headline news, this particular anaconda
is worth at least an article. Why?
Because it is friggin HUGE, that’s
why!
The snake was discovered in
Para, Brazil in the municipality and it is believed to weight 880
pounds (399 kg). Even the way people came across it was a crazy
coincidence.
While working
construction on the Belo Monte dam, an explosion rocked the site. When
workers went to investigate the damage, they came across the gigantic
snake.
The anaconda is said
to be 32 feet long and allegedly weighs about 399 kilograms which
translates to about 880 pounds, making it even more terrifying than the
predator who terrorized people in the movie Anaconda.
While the video has quickly drawn Internet
attention, some have questioned whether the snake is actually as big as
the video suggests.
Some have noted that the
camera angle used by the person filming is purposefully meant to trick
the viewer into thinking that it’s bigger than it is.
Since being posted,
the video has been viewed more than 300,000 times with comments like,
‘Oh my god, it is very, very big,’ and ‘Is this for real?!’
