- description: A 26 foot long massive anaconda was discovered by a diver in Mato Grosso, Brazil while taking photos of snakes underwater for his website banfi.ch. Swiss Diver Franco Banfi discovered a 26 foot long giant anaconda while diving in the rivers of Mato Grosso a region in Brazil. While these anacondas are common in the wildlife of Brazil, one of this size is not. These predators will often hide just under the water's surface of river banks similar to crocodiles and alligators and wait for an unsuspecting animal to come and take a drink before striking it's prey. Franco was lucky that this enormous snake had recently fed on a Capybara and wasn't interested in making the Swiss diver it's next meal. Banfi added: 'At the first moment it's scary because you don't know the animal and everybody says it's dangerous. 'But after a while you understand that nothing happens if you respect the snake. 'I have never been so close to a snake like this before. But I think a small poisonous snake is more scary than a big one. At least you can see the anacondas clearly and know what they're doing.' Several years ago in Brazil, a raw video of 2 kids being drown by a snake made the news. You can find that video along with a link to Franco Banfi's website in the description below.
