Scientist Paul Rosolie(Paul Rosolie) recently announced his determination to become prey for giant anaconda.
On the air of the program " Eaten alive"Discovery TV channel, a 27-year-old naturalist, dressed in a special suit, was supposed to swallow a 6-meter anaconda.
Anacondas this size can easily eat large mammals such as jaguars, deer and pigs.
Experts have developed special suit, which would protect a person from the teeth of a snake, as well as pressure and stomach acid. In addition, he was equipped with a camera and microphone to communicate with the team, and the scientist swallowed a capsule that monitored his vital signs.

The only thing that experts could not predict was that the anaconda would not be at all interested in eating a person dressed in such a costume. Moreover, when Rosolie tried to approach the anaconda for the first time, it got scared and tried to crawl away.
Only, when the naturalist decided to provoke the animal, the snake attacked, squeezing its victim.
The snake coiled itself around a man covered in pig blood to make himself more appetizing to the predator. The anaconda began to swallow his head and as it squeezed, Rosolie began to feel his arm breaking.
The naturalist was not ready for such a turn and immediately called for help.
In the film, Rosolie compares the strength of an anaconda to the strength of an entire team of horses. " The last thing I remembered was her mouth open, and then everything went black", he said.
Many the audience was disappointed long-awaited filming, and the defenders environment expressed their outrage, considering the experiment cruel.

Do anacondas eat people? Interest Ask is not it? How to find the answer to it? Well... there is one way - to face it face to face and wait... And there are only 2 options, which depend on whether you end up inside the snake or not.
Researcher Paul Rosolie volunteered for a, to put it mildly, unusual Discovery Channel experiment called Eaten Alive, during which he was swallowed by an anaconda.
Rosoli, who spent about an hour inside the anaconda, explained that the main purpose of his experiment was to draw attention to the problem of extinction tropical forests Amazonia.
“The last thing I remember is the wide open mouth of the snake, which hangs over my face. After that, everything went dark,” the researcher said.
In total, Rosolie spent about an hour inside the snake. The researcher did not specify how he got out of the snake.
After the publication of the announcement of the experiment, activists from the organization PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) condemned the actions of the authors of the program. Commenting on PETA's statements, Rosoli said he appreciates the organization's concern for the snake's health. He clarified that the anaconda survived the experiment and feels well.
We bring to your attention an interview with the fearless scientist.
— Paul, tell us about the design of the protective suit. He looks quite impressive.
“We needed a very strong structure to protect my body from the anaconda’s suffocating embrace. So we made the suit out of carbon fiber. To test its durability, we tested the suit using... trucks. Or rather, with the help of winches that are installed on them. We pressed on the shell with a force of up to 300 pounds per square inch (about 21 atmospheres, with such force a bulldog's jaws hold their prey - author), but it remained intact. We said, okay, let's try to break his bones. And they turned on the winch at full power. But we couldn’t crush the suit. This made me feel confident that I would be safe. To protect my hands from the anaconda's teeth, I used very durable shark scales. The body suit was coated with a special chemical layer that would protect me from the anaconda's stomach acid in case I ended up in its stomach. And before the experiment, I swallowed a pill that transmitted the parameters of my pulse and temperature to the doctors. Incredibly high technology was used to create the suit.
- How were you going to breathe inside the anaconda?
— I was wearing a diving mask built into the helmet. The breathing tube was attached to my body. It went through the back, then the leg, and in the heel area it was connected to a shock-resistant hose. So I knew the air supply would be fine.
Currently, several million snakes live on Earth. They live on every continent except Antarctica and generally within most bodies of water on the planet. They all have varying levels of aggression, gluttony and hostility towards people.
Although some of these deadly reptiles can kill a person in a matter of seconds, the most painful attacks occur when the snakes do not have any venom at all, killing their prey by strangulation. By digging their sharp, inwardly curved teeth into the victim's body, and then writhing and wrapping their massive bodies around them, they undoubtedly achieve a slow and painful death.
Over the decades, countless attacks on humans have been reported from anacondas, pythons to common boa constrictors. Many have had to come face to face with these dangerous reptiles in the jungle, in cities, and sometimes even in their own homes.
Video. Crazy man among huge pythons.
This is expert Jay Brewer, who climbed up to three large pythons ahead of New Year's Eve 2015 to share a video about the animals he raised himself. But he also noted that it is truly unsafe.
Below are ten of the most shocking large snake attacks on people around the world.
1. Canadian boys killed while sleeping
In 2013, in the town of Campbellton, New Brunswick, there was a terrifying attack by a hieroglyphic python or rock python (lat. Python sebae). This special breed of snake can weigh up to 80 kg, reach lengths of up to 6 meters and easily kill its prey by strangulation.
This tragic incident involved two little boys who were clearly in the wrong place at the wrong time. They stayed overnight in the apartment of a family friend, who in the same apartment had a peculiar complex in the form of an exotic pet store.

The report said the boys' cause of death was strangulation and an escaped python was identified as their killer.
On the night of this incident, a large snake remained in an enclosure not too far from where the four- and six-year-old victims were sleeping. It was clear how the uncovered python escaped from its cage, since there was a gap at the top due to the fact that the owner had not tightly closed the snake in the cage.
The python was able to slide up the ventilation system, which soon collapsed under the weight of the reptile. Nothing prevented Python from reaching the living room, where he came across two defenseless sleeping boys.

As a result, the reason why the python killed the children was never determined, leaving many perplexed. Because of this event, many questions and some skepticism arose.
A snake expert who owned at least 20 similar snakes in his shop said the incident was highly unusual for the python species as they are generally docile and timid. He argued that it was not impossible, but simply very unexpected and peculiar.
This was one of the most tragic attacks of this breed of snake. The python, which lived in the complex for almost ten years, was immediately killed due to this incident.
2. Snake owner charged with murder
Surprisingly, many cases of killing people big snakes actually happen in their own homes. Snakes that are escape artists can often be found outside of cages. These reptiles, which are kept as pets for many years, are usually unnoticed by their owners when they are not in the wild.
In Oxford, Florida, the owner of an albino Burmese python was sentenced to prison after his pet escaped from its confinement to kill his daughter Shanianna ( Shanianna) in her crib.

On the morning of the incident, July 1, 2009, a python named Gypsy was found tightly wrapped around the two-year-old victim, its mouth beginning to swallow the victim's head.
While isolated incidents in the past have not resulted in any criminal charges, in this case, the incident involved 21-year-old owner and mother Jaren Hair ( Jaren Hare), is different. The 2.5-meter predator escaped from its aquarium with such ease that it once again showed the complete lack of care and concern for the defenseless daughter.
The aquarium where the python was kept was covered with a duvet on top of the cage. To make matters worse, the medical examiner testified that the snake was significantly underweight and malnourished, which was likely the cause of this incident.
Jaren Hare and her partner were found guilty of manslaughter of a child, third-degree murder, due to the snake attack.
3. Anaconda attacks TV show host
During the incident, the show's TV presenter tropical forests The Amazon in Colombia was attacked by an angry anaconda. Hoping to get footage for his popular Brazilian television program, the famous Toninho Negreiro ( Toninho Negreiro), decided to catch an anaconda in the forest.
On this walk, Toninho was accompanied by El Diablo, a jungle legend who was said to have a mysterious power over snakes.
El Diablo reveals that he can smell snakes and leads Toninho and his team to a beautiful and no less dangerous Amazon. Soon, while walking, El Diablo freezes and throws himself into the grass; a second later he takes out an anaconda, which was almost three times longer than himself.
The anaconda was disturbed and began to wrap itself around El Diablo. He gave the reptile to Toninho, then took it back and released it into the wild.

After this incident, Toninho left the team alone. Soon he began to call for help and people came running to him, seeing him in the arms of the anaconda. He was already in an extremely excited state, the snake instantly attacked him, squeezing his forearm with its jaws and coiling itself around his body.
In the end, five adult men with difficulty freed him from the suffocating embrace, but he still had to free himself from the jaws that the snake was not going to unclench. El Diablo helped free himself from the anaconda's teeth.
Although only his forearm was damaged by the attack, he recovered quickly and was back in the Amazon within two months to resume filming.
4. A boa constrictor almost kills a woman in Texas.
Even when a snake is trained and unfailingly calm, this does not change the fact that it is still a cold-blooded predator.
A Texas woman with years of experience handling large snakes was attacked by a 2.5-meter boa constrictor on July 26, 2011. Victim, Debi Grudzinski ( Debi Grudzinski) tried to give a snake named Aisnia ( Icenia) a little water, then everything happened.

This was a common practice she did daily as she had been taking care of Aisnia for almost eight years. In a shocking moment, the boa constrictor grabbed Debi's hand and began to wrap itself around her. By that time, Icenia had at least half her length wrapped around Debi's arm, the woman began to panic and her daughter immediately dialed 911.
Within minutes, help arrived. Debi began to feel weak and the snake had already squeezed the woman’s hand very tightly. The 911 rescuers had to quickly try to free Debi's hand from the reptile's jaws.
They were able to quickly free Debi without killing Aisnia. Debi signed everything Required documents and her pet was sent to an animal shelter to recover.
5. Python kills a careless student in Venezuela
In the summer of 2008, working the night shift alone at the zoo among numerous deadly predators, it is clear that he did not consider it potentially dangerous. Sooner or later, such carelessness could lead to sad consequences. At least zookeeper Eric Arrieta ( Eric Arrieta) violated the rules of the establishment and entered the cage alone.
A 3-meter Burmese python, which had recently been donated to the Caracas Zoo in Venezuela, caused the sudden death of a 29-year-old student.
Photo. Python attacks a student
The snake was quite new to its new habitat and was not even on public display at the zoo. Eric foolishly violated one of the most important rules behavior at the zoo when he entered a snake's cage, a mistake that ultimately cost him his life.
Since he was the only one on duty, no one heard his moans or cries for help when the snake attacked him. Only in the morning his colleagues discovered him in a cage. By this time, the python had already strangled Eric to death and began to consume him. When the snake was actively swallowing the head of the murdered Eric, his colleagues intervened and freed his lifeless body.
Although this attack itself was unusual, since Eric was far beyond perfect size to serve as prey for a 3-meter snake, this was not a shock because Burmese pythons are the most aggressive snakes among large boas.
6Pet Python Attacks Owner in New York
Burmese pythons are the most aggressive of the boa constrictors, but that doesn't stop people from taking them into their homes. Every year there are dozens of python attacks on their owners and this species is responsible for greatest number injuries and deaths. Owners of these reptiles should always be aware that they must exercise extreme caution when handling them.
Photo. Python will attack its owner
19 year old Grant Williams ( Grant Williams) who failed to heed proper warnings and safe python handling practices met his death as a result. One day in 1996, he was found in the hallway of his apartment building, blood dripping from him, a 4-meter snake wrapped tightly around him.
Contact with a hungry python is a very foolish thing to do and certain procedures must always be followed. Grant in his last attempt feeding the python was not careful. The snake was outside its cage, and live chicken, which Grant planned to feed the python, was hidden in a box in the immediate vicinity. Creating such a situation was a fatal mistake for Grant.
Because pythons have a very keen sense of smell, the victim's family and friends believe the hungry snake smelled the chicken he regularly fed, but it only saw a moving target for its dinner, and that was Grant.
Although the snake did not even begin to swallow him as an alternative meal, unfortunately Grant did not survive the attack. Paramedics tried exhaustively to resuscitate Williams en route to the hospital, but unfortunately they were unable to do so. Grant was pronounced dead an hour later after he was taken to a nearby hospital.
7. 6-meter python against an angry mother with a knife
In Las Vegas, Nevada, a family of three temporarily shared their home with a 6-meter reticulated python. For several weeks, the parents of a 3-year-old boy, 25-year-old Melissa Melendez ( Melendrez Melendrez) and 26-year-old Anthony Melendez ( Anthony Melendrez) decided to take care of their friend's reptile.

The house remained unexplored for big snake, one fine day on January 20, 2009, the parents were unable to properly take care of the python. After just a few weeks at the new place of residence, the reptile was able to move freely around the house.
Soon after gaining freedom, the snake came across something that satisfied its interest. Melissa and Anthony's 3-year-old son was in one of the home's bedrooms.
Without much hesitation, the snake bit and began to swallow the baby. By the time Melissa discovered this, her son was already slipping into unconsciousness.
She immediately called for help. It took six police officers, an animal control officer and Melissa with her handy kitchen knife to finally free her child from the aggressive snake.
The blue-faced child was rushed to hospital where he remained overnight. During this time, he recovered perfectly; the future of the injured snake was not so rosy. The snake was killed shortly after the incident, and the boy's parents were criminally charged for child abuse.
8. Horny python gets over a woman
Reticulated pythons are the strongest and longest reptiles on the planet. It is strongly recommended that at least one other adult be present when handling this large and powerful snake.
25-year-old Amanda Black ( Amanda Black), owner of a 4-meter reticulated python named Diablo ( Diablo), thought that she could cope with the reptile on her own.
Photo. Python managed to kill a woman
The pet was sick and appropriate medications were prescribed. Amanda took it upon herself to treat the snake, she needed to give medicine to the snake. According to Amanda's husband, Diablo did not like medical procedures or the process of receiving them.
Getting a python's large, strong and flexible mouth to open must certainly be approached with great care. Since Amanda tried to give the medicine, the snake naturally didn't like it and became aggressive. Ultimately, this was enough to attack and overpower her. During the attack, Diablo wrapped himself around Amanda and began to intensely squeeze her neck, which led to death from suffocation.
The python did not kill her in a predatory manner, as usually happens during most snake attacks on people. Diablo did not even try to swallow her after death, but immediately fled the scene of the crime. Snake expert Bowen Lagess says pythons larger than 2 meters should be handled by at least two people and especially if they are treated with medication.
9. Australian mother finds a snake in bed with her daughter
While it may seem that in many cases pythons attack people in their own homes when they adopt them as pets, there are some horrific reports of people finding these large reptiles having entered their homes uninvited. Most of these cases occur in regions where pythons are commonly found, such as Australia.

In one such case, a woman went to bed on the night of January 5, 2013 with her 2-year-old daughter. She was soon awakened by the hissing of her cat and noticed strange squirming movements on her bed. Since Tess Guthrie's suspicion ( Tess Guthrie) forced her to take hers mobile phone to shine a light on what was moving, what she saw left her speechless. What was actually moving was a two-meter python sharing the bed with her and her daughter.
When she saw the python, it was already wrapped around the hand of Guthrie's little helpless daughter. Tess knew she had to act quickly, but when the python felt that the woman had caught him in the act, he began to fight back. Fearing that the python might kill her daughter, Tess immediately grabbed the long reptile. As the snake bit her daughter, Tess quickly grabbed the snake's head, forced the child to let go, and threw it across the room.
Frightened, they ran away from the room and waited until they took the snake from the house. Soon after, they were taken to hospital, where they spent the entire night being treated for wounds inflicted by the python.
10. A man saved his grandson from an anaconda
If you evaluate snakes by weight, then, undoubtedly, the anaconda comes first, largest species snakes on the planet. They can reach an astounding 8 meters in length and weigh up to 100 kg!
Some of these heavyweights live in South America, and sometimes people in this region have had bad experiences with these large snakes.
In one terrifying incident, a small Brazilian boy who lived in an area about 250 km northwest of Sao Paulo was killed by an anaconda.

One afternoon on February 8, 2007, as he and a friend were playing near a stream, they would never have guessed that a 5-meter anaconda was watching them below the surface of the water.
As soon as Matheus ( Mateus) approached the water, the hidden anaconda decided to pounce on him. Using its 5-meter muscles, large jaws and teeth, the reptile easily pinned the boy down.
As she began to sink her teeth into Matheus's neck and shoulders, his friend ran for help. But not so soon he returned with Matheus's grandfather, who was ready to fight.
