imagine just having a nap digesting your meal and a bunch of people just creep and whisper around you, marvelling your size
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 😂
If you ever need to torture me for information, just drop me off in that jungle, I'll sing like a canary.
A giant anaconda AND zombie fungus in one expedition? Guyana really feels like another planet.
A five-meter anaconda is impressive, but what fascinates me most is how such a huge animal can remain almost invisible in dense rainforest vegetation.
I like how they are just as excited for a big tree as the big snake
"I think we should leave it alone." Excellent deduction Holmes.
When he said its eyes are open like they were closed to begin with 😂😂😂😂 EDIT: ANACONDA CANNOT CLOSE AND OPEN THEIR EYES! I thought that was a given fact but i guess not. It would be cool to see... if they could do it 😂😂😂
Watching this video makes me so grateful for brave explorers who bring us closer to these hidden giants.
"I Think we should just leave it alone" that is good thinking !
Could Guyana's ecosystem hold even creepier creatures we haven't discovered yet? Thanks to the channel, true BBC-quality video!
That fungus could be a new "Last of us" sequel.😏🇨🇦😎
That moment when you realize the forest is a kingdom of giants—trees, snakes, and even fungi!
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.
I've gotten to hold a juvenile green anaconda and it was genuinely one of the chillest snakes I've ever met.
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.
glad u guys just left him be ❤
Giant snake : sleeping peacefully Scientists : can we get there ?
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.
Like the cordyceps fungus from the last of us
