The images were published on the channel “Terra das Sucuri”, on Youtube. The author of the video captured all the actions of an anaconda, in this case with the participation of a capybara. The snake coils around its prey and strangles it, dragging it to the bottom of the Rio Formoso. Then the feeding process begins.

The size of the capybara is impressive, but for the anaconda with its elastic stomach, this will not be a problem. Check out the images!

Having caught the food, the operator monitors the behavior of the anaconda for several days. In the frame, he shows a motionless snake swimming along the river bank, in a corner surrounded by vegetation.

There the anaconda remained for several months, almost motionless, in the process of digestion. In some cases, such “hibernation” can last up to six months, until the food is completely digested. Then she goes hunting again.
