Divers With Anaconda In The Amazon

The anaconda, the largest snake in the world, lives in the Amazon River Basin and other parts of South America. A very adept swimmer, it hunts its meals in the water using the cover of tangled roots to sneak up on its prey. It wraps its long, powerful body around its victim and either crushes it or suffocates it to death. In this short film, Ocean Adventures team members Celine Cousteau and Richard Murphy get up close and personal with this legend, in the two-hour program, Return to the Amazon, part of the series Jean-Michel Cousteau Ocean Adventures, shown on PBS.

Re: Divers With Anaconda In The Amazon

Cool
I just read how they are able to hold their breath:

The anaconda's scientific name Eunectes means "good swimmer" in Greek and reflects the snake's mainly aquatic habits. Its eyes and nostrils are set high on its head, allowing it to see and breathe with the rest of its body under water. An anaconda can reportedly hold its breath for 45 minutes or more, but in normal circumstances the snake may stay submerged for around 10 minutes...it doesn't breathe under water.

Re: Divers With Anaconda In The Amazon

Well I know how those divers weighted themselves down as they have some serious brass balls. The anaconda easily could have attacked them and done some major damage before (and if) they could be saved.

Re: Divers With Anaconda In The Amazon

I wouldn't get in the water with an anaconda for a million dollars, let alone pay to do it like these divers probably did. They are brave fellas.
