A fisherman has a moment of suffocation after finding a giant anaconda waiting for him. She hid under rocks for hours while a man passed by. “I was born again. He didn’t attack me because he didn’t want to,” Felipe Packer says in a public video on the Internet.

“How dangerous,” says the fisherman, who stayed there for hours with the snake, oblivious to its presence. Noticing the presence of an anaconda, the fisherman starts looking for the rest of the body, as the head has been hidden. A few minutes later, she comes out of hiding.

He and a few companions admire the animal, but she feels uncomfortable. Although it does not attack or feed on humans, it gives the classic defense and attack signal. “It will hit,” Felipe says.

“Look at the size of this snake and it can hide in unimaginable holes. It’s in her habitat, we’re the uninvited guests here. We disturbed her digestion, but she leaves healthy,” he concludes.
