Jake Stevens Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 SAO PAULO (Reuters) - A 66-year-old Brazilian man wrestled with a 15-foot (5-metre) anaconda for nearly half an hour to free his grandson from the snake's crushing death grip, local media reported on Friday. Matheus Pereira de Araujo, 8, would likely be dead inside the belly of the 80 pound (35 kg) anaconda if his grandfather had not heard his screams for help, zoologists said. Anacondas, the biggest snakes in the world, live in swamps and rivers. They kill prey by asphyxiation or drowning. When the snake struck Araujo, who lives in the world's third largest metropolis of Sao Paulo, he was playing with a cousin on Wednesday in a creek bed on his grandfather's farm 310 miles (500 km) from the city in a town called Cosmorama. "It was very fast. I didn't have time to do anything," the Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper quoted Araujo as saying. "My grandfather is a hero -- I was so afraid of dying." Joaquim Pereira was driving home when he heard the screams of Matheus and his cousin Flavio, 8, who ran to get help. Pereira jumped into the ravine and grappled with the snake, which started coiling around him as well. "I started fighting the animal and tried to loosen its grip on the boy's neck but the snake was too strong," Pereira told the Bom Dia newspaper of Sao Jose do Rio Preto. http://http://today.reuters.co.uk/news/articlenews.aspx?type=oddlyEnoughNews&storyid=2007-02-09T184854Z_01_N09169842_RTRIDST_0_OUKOE-UK-BRAZIL-ANACONDA.XML&src=rss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudebra1 Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Fuck living in a place where a giant anaconda will choke you. Seriously, why didn't that kid bounce when he saw a big ass snake that's going to kill you? "Oh, hey, there's an 80 pound snake that can kill and eat me. I think I'll go chill with it for a while." Maybe he should have gotten deaded to teach his dumb ass not to fuck with big ass snakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
