Amazing video. Thanks BBC Earth q
Good information 👍
"Wow, that's the biggest snake I've ever seen! It could swallow me whole! I think I'll go riiiight up to it .." 😄
A giant anaconda AND zombie fungus in one expedition? Guyana really feels like another planet.
massive!
Seeing George McGavin and Gordon Buchanan track down that massive five-metre anaconda was intense, but I totally didn't expect that final twist.
Obligatory fishing Garrett mention
Green anacondase are often misunderstood as aggressive hunters. In reality, they are highly efficient ambush predators that conserve energy by remaining motionless for long periods, striking only when the probability of success is high.
Wow, did you see how old his phone was? I wonder what year this was filmed.
The fact the fungus makes the animal climb higher so when the spores burst from the body they travel to a further degree is absolutely unbelievable…nature is honestly terrifying 😂
The Yoink man would have snatched up that anaconda 😂
What is truly terrifying isn't just the anaconda's power, but the unsettling feeling of not knowing what might be lurking right beside it. This is undoubtedly one of the most chilling nature discoveries I have ever seen.
I got genuine goosebumps when I reached the final reveal. A massive anaconda in the wild can set the stage for a story with a completely unpredictable ending.
That fungus could be a new "Last of us" sequel.😏🇨🇦😎
If you ever need to torture me for information, just drop me off in that jungle, I'll sing like a canary.
God loves you and cares for you so that this message reaches you. God is the one who created this large universe and controls it completely. The greatest loss a person loses in this life is that he lives without knowing God who created him and knowing the Messenger of Muhammad, the last of the messengers, and the Islamic religion, the last of the heavenly religions. Great intelligence, before you believe in something or not, is to read it, study it, and understand it well, and after that you have the choice to believe in it or not to believe in it. I advise you to do this now, before you no longer have time to do so. Life is very short. It is just a test, just a passage to eternal life. Great advice to those who… Understands
I'm not sure which is scarier, the snake or the cordyceps; probably the cordyceps.
Like the cordyceps fungus from the last of us
Did you find John Voight somewhere around the anaconda?
