Diver comes face to face with 23-foot Anaconda


Snake has been one of the species which has been misunderstood all along. They have been depicted as cunningly diabolic, wrathful, and ruthless. However, those who have been in close contact with this majestic creature feel otherwise.

On a recent diving expedition in the Brazilian Pantanal, biologist and photographer Daniel De Granville had a chance to record the gentler side of snakes in the wild, coming face to face with a 23-foot-long anaconda. In fact, Granville says that anacondas are actually quite shy around humans, and likely have much more to fear from us than we do them.

"It's a very tolerant animal," says Granville.

Whatever they say about snakes, I guess it’s better to stay away from them. One of them killed my bunny Ms. Pepper & I don’t think much highly about them. Moreover, I cannot trust any cold-blooded animal no matter what they say. But yes some of them are really beautiful & you can use the word fascinating for them. I’d rather like to admire them from a distance though. But it’s true that false myths have been created in which snakes, wolves, sharks & other animals have been depicted as ferocious beings who are ever ready to devour you. Actually animals only kill when they are hungry; they are not psychopaths like humans who enjoy torturing other humans & animals just for the heck of it.
