Did you know that 60% of Americans have snakes as their number one phobia well
even if you're a tough guy and you're not scared of normal snakes you will be
terrified of these ones the creatures we're going to look at
today look like they're straight out of a movie
but these snakes are no Hollywood production they've been found all over
the world from construction workers finding gigantic anacondas to a woman at
being eaten alive by a Python I'm Charlie and today we're going to look at
the biggest snakes ever found Before we jump into it why not help out top tens
by subscribing and pressing the notification bell Construction anaconda
this snake was found in Brazil on a construction site the builders were
stunned when they found this snake they quickly caught it and measured it and it
was 33 feet long that's 10 meters the gigantic anaconda weighs nearly 900
pounds and it was found right after an explosion was carried out in an Altamira
cave that demolition was to make way for a new construction that these builders
were making but their plans were interrupted by this humongous anaconda
the snakes 1 metre diameter body was caught on camera by the workers they had
to chain it onto a construction crane and then drive it out on the road to
remove it from the building site while this was happening on lookers jaws
dropped now sadly the workers had to take the snake out as they couldn't do
anything else with it and this made a lot of people on social media very very
upset but to be fair what could they have done you can't exactly take this
thing home as a pet this actually broke World Records for the largest anaconda
in the world it was previously held by a 25-foot
snake from Kansas City but this 33 foot Brazilian snake blew
that out of the park giant River anaconda this action-packed
video really looks like it's out of a film but no it was caught by three
amateur fishermen in the Amazon rainforest in Brazil the three amateur
fishermen were in their small boat going down at the Amazon River that is when
all of a sudden as they realized that they're sharing the river with a
gigantic serpent creature this is an anaconda and it looks much bigger than
normal that is because it's still digesting its meal from before anacondas
store up food in side them and digest it over a long
period of time one man uses his oar to poke the snake the snake then uses its
massive weight to push the boat away the men tried to grab the snake's tail to
try and capture this snake I'm not sure why they wanted to catch this snake
maybe they thought they could sell it for money after all snakeskin is used on
the black market in luxury fashion but the guy's messed up by filming
themselves committing a crime they relate to find 3200 Brazilian real
that's around $600 for being careless and harming an animal they were also
charged with hunting wildlife without a license if found guilty they could face
up to a year and a half behind bars guys if you try and capture a giant anaconda
without a license protip don't film it woman eaten by
Python we all know that one of these scariest things about snakes is that
they can eat you alive then when you're inside the snake they begin to digest
you with their stomach acids well in the summer of 2018 something like this
happened on an Indonesian Island a 54 year old woman named waka baa had left
her home she was going from her modest house on Luna Island to her cornfield
that she owned but the next morning she never returned home so her sister went
out looking for her all around her home is wildlife so it was very hard to look
for her but eventually her sister found her footprints her flashlight and her
machete it didn't take long for the rest of her family and nearly 100 other
locals to form a massive search party to try and find her but sadly instead of
finding her alive they found a 23 foot long snake this was
around a hundred and fifty feet away from her belongings the Python was very
bloated meaning it must have ate something human sized recently the
Python had the woman inside and because of it could barely move so the villagers
quickly took the Python into the town and sliced open its belly with a machete
inside they found wha her body was still intact but she was not alive
later that afternoon she was given a big ceremony in a traditional religious
burial it's very sad a war was taken out by this massive Python but at least they
did find the Python and Oise body Peruvian anaconda this video was caught
in September of 2013 and it was caught in the Peruvian part of the Amazon River
resting on the edge of the river some found a gigantic anaconda it was laying
pretty much motionless because it was digesting a massive animal it just ate
this meant it could not escape these men and was easily captured the villagers
caught many photos and videos of this massive reptile but sadly they also took
the reptile out that may seem harsh but that's the culture in these areas
anacondas sometimes take human lives so they can never be too careful but that
did not stop many social media uses being very outraged by these people
longest Python the Python you're about to see was caught in Malaysia and much
like the Brazilian anaconda we saw before this was also caught on a
construction site I don't know what it is about construction sites but they
seem to be a breeding ground for gigantic snakes the difference between
this snake though was that it's a Python pythons are usually smaller than
anacondas but this one measured at 26.2 feet in 2016 this was the then largest
snake ever caught the Malaysian builders caught this snake and removed it
peacefully but sadly the massive Python passed away three days later while
laying an egg the snake was very hard to transport as
it was longer than any pickup truck instead they had to use a massive crane
to remove it pythons which were that size can lay up to 80 eggs but for
someone explained recent if this Python passed away after laying an egg that's
very sad but at least these construction workers were able to peacefully remove
this massive Python and of course capture amazing images of this wildlife
world record the NAB au Borneo is the third largest island in the world and
the largest in all of Asia it's shared by Malaysia Indonesia and Brunei but on
it is a very scary legend of the naboo this is said to be a terrifying snake
more than 100 feet in length it also is said to have seven nostrils and the head
of a dragon it's said to live in the ballet River but now villagers are
living in more fear of this snake than ever that is because a few years back an
aerial photo caught something very scary a photographer in a helicopter saw a
massive shape in the ballet river he took some photos and when he got back
home his jaw dropped that is because he appears to have caught a massive snake
swimming along the remote River the photographer was in a helicopter owned
by the Malaysian government and he is a member of a disaster team
monitoring floods in the area according to the Straits Times a local paper many
villagers have seen the snake in real life but this is the first time it was
caught on camera Tizen aboah the titanoboa is said to be the largest
snake in history but it's now extinct however fossils of this have been found
in Colombia which date back to 60 million years ago the snake was 42 feet
in length and it could reach a weight of 2,500 pounds according to the
Smithsonian magazine this is the largest snake ever discovered the fossils of the
snake were found in a coal mine in Colombia this mine extracts 32 million
tons of coal every year they dug down so deep they found an amazing geological
discovery at first if the fossils were thought to be from dinosaurs because
they were so big but it turns out it was actually a 40 foot long snake according
to Smithsonian magazine it behaved like a modern-day anaconda it dwelled in
waters and would eat any animal that caught its eye the snake would also be
very very large and as tall as a man's waist the fossil of this thing is
absolutely terrifying and it's scary to think something this terrifying actually
existed in real life not in a movie world war snake this photo dates back
all the way to world war ii it was caught by a high-ranking Belgian fighter
pilot the squadron leader named Freddy van lair day was flying over the Congo
in a helicopter but as he was heading back to base he was amazed to see a
gigantic snake below he told his crew to bring the helicopter lower to get a
better look of the snake and take some photos bird then the massive snake
lunged into the air and tried to attack the helicopter and bring it down luckily
if they were very skilled and avoided the snake but they guessed the snake was
around 50 feet long eventually the photos were sent to the CIA headquarters
and they confirmed it would have been around 50 feet long however some of the
CIA said the snake could have been around 200 feet long just think the
largest snake ever found was 33 feet long that's the one in the Brazilian
construction site so this world war 2 snake could have been more than six
times as large as that the real question is though will we ever find a snake
bigger than 200 feet long of course this was never totally confirmed but the CIA
is a pretty good source do you agree with the 200
footlong number what do you think based on the image we have it's pretty
unbelievable to think these creatures which look so scary and prehistoric live
among us today hopefully as we explore more and more of the world and
rainforests will find even larger snakes it seems like based on the information
we have Asia is the best place to find gigantic snakes but if that photo taken
during World War two is anything to go by we should explore the Congo a lot
more
