I've seen a Florida snake swallow a 5ft alligator, it was a Python though and not an Anaconda: <a href="https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/5-foot-gator-found-in-stomach-of-18-foot-burmese-python-in-florida-everglades/2906774/" rel="nofollow">https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/5-foot-gator-found-in-st...</a> ... I don't think it's the only one that has been found in Florida either (one busted out of the snake).
«The Orinoco basin of the Amazon» ?!<p>This is a geographic mistake, the Orinoco river is not a tributary of the Amazon, it's an independent river and one of the biggest. According to wikipedia it is the third or fourth largest river in the world by discharge volume of water.<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orinoco_Basin" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orinoco_Basin</a><p>«Its discharge is the third largest of any river worldwide, after the Amazon and the Congo»<p>Edit: change my wording about the journalist
Unless cryptozoological accounts[0] are to be believed.<p>I highly doubt it but it would be cool if there were a living snake the size of Titanoboa[1] still.<p>[0]<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remy_Van_Lierde#Alleged_encounter_with_a_giant_snake" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remy_Van_Lierde#Alleged_encoun...</a><p>[1]<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanoboa" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanoboa</a>
Clear publicity stunt. Same history appeared a few days ago under a different issue.<p>Taking in mind the position of the camera too close to the snake head, I wouldn't even discard that this hasn't been filmed on an aquarium. A truly wild snake never would allow to get too close without a response.
I saw this video and was amazed. If it is real, that snake is absolutely massive. It seems almost too big to be viable. I am curious what it eats, as it seems it would be too large to be quick enough to eat most mammals. I'd have to guess these snakes are mainly ambush predators, and it does seem a quick search verifies that.<p>Also, it's a bit sad you can commit unprovoked physical assault on national television and then get invited to voiceover a nature documentary for National Geographic and Disney.
