For a second, the man thought she died because she couldn’t swallow her prey. However, he later realized that she was alive. “Isn’t she dead? No, he’s breathing,” he says in the video.
However, in the recording, the man emphasizes that he is only filming the snake and will not bother it, since it will only feed.
The bravery of the snake in swallowing its huge prey has drawn attention on social media. “She wouldn’t survive” and “her eyes were bigger than her stomach” were some comments from internet users.

What do anacondas eat?
Anacondas, also known as anacondas, can feed on a variety of animals, including alligators, turtles, birds, fish, and mammals such as wild pigs, capybaras, and even jaguars.
They usually hunt by hiding and ambushing possible prey near river banks. Despite the lack of poison, they use their strength as their main hunting weapon, enveloping and squeezing their prey.
The species is known for its size. According to Fiocruz (Fundação Oswaldo Cruz), anacondas can reach more than seven meters in length and have a very muscular body, making them the largest snakes in the world by mass.
