'Enough is enough': Vogue Williams hits back at cruel troll who branded her baby son Otto 'ugly' - days after presenter detailed plane seat fiasco 'It's like his nan knitted it for this event!' F1 fans pour scorn on Lewis Hamilton's latest look as he steps out resembling a tea cosy in a pink balaclava If the snake is being teased into attacking, its not going to be prepared to feed - only defend itself.

You can perhaps taunt it into striking at you, but constricting is an entirely different matter. The Green Anaconda can't be dictated too, because it chooses its own prey.

The giant green anaconda is reputed to be the biggest of all living snakes - a giant species, a fearsome killer that can effortlessly crush the body of a large adult man.īut I've been skeptical about the man who tried to have himself eaten alive by one for a TV show. I have also developed a very deep fear of drowning since that day.Īs told to Jay Akbar 'The Green Anaconda chooses its own prey', says Austin regarding recent reality TV stunt in which a man attempted to be eaten alive by the monster If I ever found one on land I would still approach it but never in water. I lost my opportunity to photograph a Green Anaconda that day. It was for me a clear indication that snakes, even giant snakes such as this, do not consider humans as prey - and to avoid them at all costs. Reaching shallower water, I stood a minute and watched as it swam slowly off into the river, never to be seen again.ĭespite the awesome pain it caused, I only experienced the first stages of the incredible pressure this snake is capable of inflicting. I could see blood pouring from the V-shaped, razor-like pattern of holes around my arm. I desperately gasped for air, my chest heaving, my face flushed from the ordeal. I had attacked it, after all.ĭanger: It was in a swamp much like this one that Stevens had to battle for his life against the huge reptile It hadn't been trying to kill me, it had been trying to escape. It was at this moment it pulled its head free, relaxed its coils, and swam off.

I released my free hand from around the snake's head. The sudden jerk momentarily released the snake's grip from around my arm. I had managed to catapult myself and the snake towards the surface. I thrashed out wildly and just managed to hit the sandy bottom of the river. If it had continued for just a few seconds longer, I would have died from suffocation.īut instead instinct took over. Sometimes in life you get the urge to simply let go and that's what I did - I gave up. I remember the encounter so vividly and I still think about it sometimes at night - and remember wondering why I ever did something so stupid. My body was suspended in the water, my feet unable to feel the ground beneath them. I thought my eyes would pop out of their sockets from the pressure of the blood trapped in my skull.Īnd I knew, without any shadow of doubt, the giant snake would relentlessly ratchet up the pressure unless something happened to change its mind. The pressure was just tremendous - I felt as though I was a glass bottle in a vice, ready to shatter at any moment. With frightening speed, the 17-foot snake whipped around and brought its huge head, open-mouthed, with tooth-rimmed jaws, hurtling towards me. Everything I had struggled for in the past six weeks was in front of me, so I took a final lunge and grabbed frantically at the giant slithering body.

My prize find was moving away from me, so I forced myself forward - running, diving, scrambling in a last ditch effort to grab the swiftly retreating shadow in the swamp. That's when I caught a glimpse of a green, elongated form - thick as my upper thigh - sliding silently over a submerged log. But it was an ideal place for an anaconda to hide and hunt. It was an extremely difficult place in which to move freely. I was in a sweltering, shallow section of the Amazonian river, darkened by the trees overhead and tangled with roots, thick foliage and waterlogged underfoot. Why? Because he was just as reckless when he tried to handle a huge specimen of the same species while filming a documentary in the Peruvian Amazon in 2003 - and nearly paid with his life.Īustin shares with MailOnline, in excruciating detail, his own utterly terrifying brush with death when he felt his life being squeezed out of him - when he was dragged to the bottom of a river. Rosolie drew ridicule after he had to be rescued just minutes into the hugely hyped stunt. TV adventurer Austin Stevens thinks Paul Rosolie was foolish when he put on a special suit and attempted to be 'eaten alive' by a giant Green Anaconda.
