The tour guide drew attention to this by sharing a video of him coming “face to face” with a huge boa constrictor. The photographs were taken during the expedition.

“Before we arrived, the boa constrictor was attacked by some coatis, I just moved to the side and he decided to head towards me, he didn’t want to attack me, he just wanted to move away and look for a safe place,” Louis said.

Boas are non-venomous snakes that live in America, Africa, Europe, Asia and some Pacific islands. Females are usually larger than males.

This reptile is considered the second largest species in Brazil, second only to the majestic anaconda. These snakes are much feared due to their large size, but they are not that dangerous.
