66-year-old Brazilian man fights off 77-pound snake
http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/americ....ap/index.html
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Good Chocobo |
I don't know how an anaconda could have "knocked this boy to the ground" like nothing.
These things just don't just pop out of the bush's. They were probably fucking with the snake, pissed it off, and then whined about it later. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
Hey, maybe you should try that thing Chie was talking about.
|
I'm pretty sure Anacondas are pretty fucking fast for their size. They usually wait in the water and bite at anything that goes near the water, likely for a drink. Judging by the picture and description, this is exactly what happened.
How ya doing, buddy? |
They were aiming for a sequel, why lie? I was speaking idiomatically. |
That is so badass. Props to the old man.
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
I'm most impressed by the grandfather's stamina. Fighting a giant snake with nothing but rocks and a knife for half an hour wouldn't be an easy task at any age, yet he managed to drive it off. It's lucky that the kid wasn't bleeding too heavily from that chest wound, considering how long it took to get him to a hospital.
FELIPE NO |
Rocks and a knife, for 30 minutes. And from the sounds of it during that 30 whole minutes the snake was still on the boy, yet it still failed to kill him?
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
That's amazing. Giant snake attack training should be offered in every self-defense class. The kid never had a chance and in that situation the old man's reflexes had to have been impeccable!
I'd like to know if anyone honestly thinks they'd be able to do that. I have a natural affinity for jungle terrain and I doubt I'd be able to do it! Jam it back in, in the dark. Observant Provisions | [adult swim] "Dude, this is gonna.. Man, this is gonna wicked, like, really hurt." |
Man, by the sounds of it that snake is a wimp. Props to the old man, though. I would have liked to see him in action (but not the wuss snake =X).

It was 77 pounds. It could knock many things over like nothing. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
that kid is lucky as hell that he didn't become lunch for that snake
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |

Plus there's the sheer adrenaline factor of seeing your grandson dying right in front of you. I think that would be a pretty decent motivating factor.
How ya doing, buddy? |
Like a grandmother who could lift up a car to save her grandbaby.
FELIPE NO |
That grandson would've had to have been messing about with the snake or something. I don't believe it just went for him for the sake of it.
The grandpa is extremely strong to do that and brave in away because it could've easily swapped targets. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Stubborn fucking snake. I wonder if he tried sawing its head off?
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Thats so crazy I would have shat my pants the minute i saw that snake also that anaconda could have been very strong cause if this boy was as small as they say he is then it could have easily ate him
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Props for the grandpa for being awesome. 30 minutes of attacking a snake - gotta love adrenalin. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
I'm not really sure that I get why he let it get away though. If he had a knife, couldn't he have just chopped its head off and killed it?
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Maybe it was a whittling knife? He could have poked it in the eye or something though. =o

It actually isn't that easy to kill an anaconda. I saw a video of a jaguar fighting with an anaconda. The jaguar won but it took that thing forever to kill the snake because the only place that the snake was vulnerable to immediate death was the head.

Oh man I love watching awesome animal fights. Fucking snake couldn't wrap around the cat at all?
