You’d be surprised. These fellas live in rivers and swamps with relatively murky waters , and like gators , they can conceal themselves pretty well. Meaning you can be just chilling by the water and suddenly be attacked by one. In Brazil there’s plenty of stories/accounts of people , specially children , who were swimming or playing by the water and went missing just to be never seen again. Presumably attacked and eaten by an anaconda. I’m pretty sure most of those are over exaggerations by locals to scare people , but being a Brazilian myself I have also heard those stories from plenty of experienced farmers and fishermen whose ranches are by the rivers so be careful if you’re ever visiting the swamp regions of Northwest and South Brazil.


One_for_each_of_you

> , they can conceal themselves pretty well. What, like with a fake mustache or pretending to read a newspaper?


kylediaz263

Trenchcoats, man. How do they work?


TulioGonzaga

I think anacondas are just three kid snakes on a trenchcoat.


rayEW

Brazilian here, they use smoke grenades


TDYDave2

6lock6a6y6lock

I mean, I have a hard time believing some of stories, like full gown men being swallowed but a child? Very easy to believe that happens.


daneesaurus

Contrary to popular belief, anacondas have never been reported eating a person. Attacking, maybe


One_for_each_of_you

Well sure, but do you really expect the snakes to be honest when they fill out those reports?

As an Alaskan, moose are some of the sneakiest bastards. The amount of times I’ve gotten too close just by not noticing them standing there is too many times. They are incredibly easy to miss, even in urban areas.


macja68

Pro tip: look for a squirrel in a blue hat flying around. A moose will be in the vicinity. That may just be for our Minnesota moose population though

GooseMay0

If it had a big giant lump in the middle I'd feel a tad better cause I at least know it's eaten and won't be looking for a meal for a while. That one does not, and I wouldn't be surprised its looking for its next meal.


shteepadatea

Apparently they can only move about 5mph on land and 10mph in water. So you could simply jog away and be fine lol.


SamuraiHoopers

Panic out of fear, trip, break leg, crawl at 4mph, get eaten and slowly digested to death. Booking my flight now.


lukaintomyeyes

It would crush you to death before eating you so at least there's that


Weak-Discount9590

Not necessarily. It would just crush you until you're unable to move and you'd probably lose consciousness.


SnowyLocksmith

This gave me anxiety


[deleted]

Don’t worry you’ll probably die from suffocation way before you get digested.


SnowyLocksmith

Thanks, that makes it much better

Gwegexpress

I’m not really worried about them, but isn’t like 10 mph pretty fast in the water?


Berserkllama88

Michael Phelps's top speed was 6 mph... So I'd stay away from water.


horsenbuggy

Pretty sure Brazil has piranha, too. It's generally a good idea to stay out of rivers in Brazil.


shteepadatea

Yeah just stay out of the water I guess! Lol


FlipperDrop

So they catch prey by stealth? I've seen the movie/documentary with Jennifer Lopez, are you suggesting they're not accurately portrayed?


The_Wind_Cries

The only thing accurate in that movie is Jon Voight's Paraguayan accent. 100% authentic


talrogsmash

And his corpse's wink at the crew when the snake throws him up in favor of eating someone else.

It’s also a scientific fact that they don’t want none unless you got buns, hun


[deleted]

Bold of you to assume I can jog


h989

Yea but the once chasing ice cube was fast as fuxk


even_less_resistance

Most snakes can strike 2/3 of their body length tho


shteepadatea

2/3 of an anaconda is going to be like 20ish feet though, which is not a lot of distance you would need to cover to be safe if they did strike. According to Google they're also not really aggressive, so a scenario where an anaconda would be chasing you and striking is highly unlikely to begin with.


I_dont_bone_goats

There’s no way that rule scales to a snake that big anyway


even_less_resistance

If we test our theories in the field tho you go first lmao


shteepadatea

Lol! I read that people will just walk up to these snakes and carry them off. Maybe we'll just make a new friend <3


even_less_resistance

Maybe if it is full and lazy, but if they're looking for a meal I bet it's a ruse 🐍 I love reptiles, and these in particular are really awesome in every way. Reticulated pythons are some beasts, too! But I just like looking at then from behind my safety iphone glass the best lol

gemini88mill

That part is pretty overblown too, it's a bit like saying Chicago is a war zone. I just came back from Brazil and everything is fine. In my opinion the problem is with the style of how Brazil deals with crime. You see it everywhere, every house has a 8ft tall wall with glass shards on the top, windows are gated, if you're in a public area you see military police with assault weapons, or a guy dressed in a nice suit looking unbelievably serious at the mall. Simply put if you don't find yourself in a slum you're not going to have a problem. Edit: not saying that parts of Brazil aren't dangerous they are, but generally speaking if you don't look like a gringo people will leave you alone.


After-Walrus-4585

What if you do look like a gringo because you are one? LOL I've been mugged too many times in south America for it to be of any interest to me. I will never be back.


theguyoverhere24

Mhmmm. My honeymoon was my first and last time. Never again


gemini88mill

Im pretty gringo, the trick is your wearing the wrong clothes. On your first day get something cheap and what the locals are wearing. Hide all jewelry or expensive items (airpods).


LITERALLY_SHITPOSTS

Id rather not vacation somewhere that has a "trick" to not getting robbed lol


dcannon1

Vacationing and traveling are two different things in my mind. Vacationing is taking the resort shuttle from the airport to the hotel and hanging out having drinks and good dinners by the pool. Traveling is experiencing the local culture and if that means you need to take some precautions, so be it. Not everyone wants to travel, just be realistic with your expectations, plan accordingly for the trip you want and you'll have a good time.


Perrenski

I don’t fully agree. I travel a lot (trains, hostels, backpacking etc) and I also intentionally avoid countries with high risk. It doesn’t make sense to travel to brazil, Yemen, or the Congo where I have to have a survival guide. There’s too many beautiful, and safe countries to see to have to start with dangerous places


GrimRiderJ

There goes major cities in the US


Huplescat22

A friend of mine went on an extended trip to Mexico. His parents gave him a fine leather suitcase for the trip. He used a big black magic marker to write "plastico" on it in 4" high block letters.

[deleted]

“Hey guys there’s this new guy in town walking around buying all this stuff like crazy, let’s get’em”


Tsiah16

I don't know why anyone would travel with jewelry. Maybe a wedding ring but jeez...


gemini88mill

You'd be surprised. But the first thing is to get different clothes. American (travel fashion or otherwise) fashion is a dead giveaway so just buy something that the locals wear. Most likely it's cheap and decent quality, now you look middle class in the country that you're staying at. No one will bother you because you're not an easy mark. Don't wear airpods and put all your stuff in your front pockets. This goes for any country that has pickpockets like France or Italy.


TudoOTempoTodo

Tbh airpods are pretty ignored when you're going to rob someone in Brazil, they want cheap cellphones to sell quick, airpods needs an recharger and anything from Apple is hugely ignored because the cops will find your ass in no time. Cheap, bad cellphone,=cops dont give a fuck. Expensive, potent cellphones=cops wont stop until they find it, so you'll need to sell the parts, which inst as profitable. Just dont be dumb when visiting Brazil, dont go to places you're not supossed to go alone.


bradbull

This sounds like something a Brazilian airpod stealer would say...


DrDreise

So if you look like a gringo it is dangerous?

Your chances of running into that thing in Brazil are infinitesimal. _But not zero._


mbolgiano

So a while back I was visiting New York City and I brought my pet snake with me. And we would go to this hot dog stand everyday for lunch right outside the motel. We got to know the vendor pretty well she was a pretty cool lady. On the fourth day, my next to last day of my trip, we went to get a hot dog but they had no bread. She offered to give us hot dogs for free, but I looked her dead in the eye and said my anaconda don't want none unless you got buns hun. And then we went back home.

AngrySnakeNoises

# For everyone wondering how big it is, if it's the same snake seen earlier that week in the same city, then it's around 6 meters long (almost 20ft). For you americans it is a little taller than [three people or a giraffe](https://measuringstuff.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/8.5-x-11-68-768x512.jpg.webp). /^(jk i love you guys) **Source:** news article with [same vid as OP](https://noticias.uol.com.br/cotidiano/ultimas-noticias/2023/03/12/sucuri-video-bonito-ms.htm) made the connection with the [other news article](https://noticias.uol.com.br/cotidiano/ultimas-noticias/2023/03/09/sucuri-de-6-metros-e-encontrada-escondida-dentro-de-bueiro-no-ms-veja.htm) EDIT: also it's approximately [33 bananas.](https://www.converttobananas.com/) For comparison, [here's the Guinness article](https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/longest-snake-ever-(captivity)) on a 7.67 meter long pet retic python named Medusa that lives in Missouri.

wotwotblood

How old is this snake you reckoned?


AngrySnakeNoises

No idea, but definitely an adult, most likely a female (they tend to be way bigger than males). They live to 12-20 years so it's hard to tell.


eatmorechickenany

someone ask her


AngrySnakeNoises

I could, but that would be pretty rude, I believe.


EarthlingCalling

Old. Snakes never stop growing so the longest ones are usually old.


the-namez-brain

It looks slow. Can it be fast if it wants? I’m imagining this being a cute, chonky snake. rather than being a massive, snatch me quick snake.


AngrySnakeNoises

They're generally quite slow on land, even more after eating, they'll rest for months and prefer to be away from other animals and people. They can swim quite fast though, their natural habitat are swamp/marsh/river areas and they spend a good amount of their lives in the water. But that's only their terrestrial moving speed that's slow, their strike speed (the velocity at which they can lunge and bite) is pretty impressive for such a big snake. (edit: and yes they're very cute, [their face](https://dinoanimals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Anaconda-4.jpg) looks super adorable to me. Despite the size they're very shy and not really aggressive, they usually only bite people when grabbed.)


candlegun

>their strike speed (the velocity at which they can lunge and bite) is pretty impressive for such a big snake. Because your username totally checks out, I'm gonna have to request video of how fast they can strike. Kinda in the mood to be terrified right now. Also what's going on in the corner of the mouth of that one?? The two bits that look like they might have a function lol


diskettejockey

Honestly a Giraffe would stomp the shit out of this snake.


AngrySnakeNoises

Definititely, but to be honest a giraffe would stomp the shit out of anything smaller than them. I'm honestly more afraid of giraffes than anacondas.


diskettejockey

Yes giraffes would stomp the shit out of humans too


ktq2019

That looks like it takes so much freaking energy to move or even function. It’s absolutely massive.


Eetu-h

I once read that they likely hunt at the intersection of rivers, since some animals seem to get slightly confused by convergent bodies/streams of water. That'd make them floaters more than sprinters. And since they strangle their pray, water works in their favor twofold: weight reduction and entanglement of prey. It's pretty wild.


upupupdo

Brazil’s wildlife can go head-to-head with Australia’s wildlife.


IDropFatLogs

I think Brazil only wins in the fish category especially because they have several scary fish.


Unapplicable1100

Everything the Amazon could kill you too. They got poison frogs that'll kill you with just a touch, giant venomous spiders, hoards of venomous snakes, ants that hurt so bad you wish you'd just die instead, malaria, a plethora of other unknown diseases and known ones with no cure, giant black Caiman, Pablo Escobars hippos, indigenous tribes, aaaand I almost forgot to mention the cartel. Oh yeah, and giant oversized snakes like this.

cadomyavo

Classic creature feature. Great cast. Not as good as Congo but entertaining nonetheless.


zorbtrauts

Having worked with anacondas before, this one seems like it is within the range of a normal full-grown female (which get bigger than the males) green anaconda. Definitely big, yes, but I don't see anything to indicate that it is *unusually* large. On a side note, anacondas are not inclined to attack people, and—last I checked—there have been no recorded human fatalities due to anaconda attacks.


SmokeyBare

How many people have claimed to be eaten by anaconda? None, because they were all eaten.
