OMG, that's huge, it's probably becuase of some weird unreasonable cause.

Or it's just gods way of saying, theres snakes out there that are bigger then we thought.

I believe this story goes with the picture above.

The Diario, the newspaper of Pernambuco in Brazil, of January 24, 1948 published a picture with a headline 'Anaconda Weighing 5 Tons.' The picture shows a part of a giant anaconda that was caught by band of Indian half breeds. It was engaged in a siesta near a river with a bull half swallowed. The Indians tied a rope to its neck and tied the other end to a tree. The anaconda measured 131 feet long. Four months later the newspaper of Rio called A Noite Illustrada held a photograph of an anaconda slaughtered by Militia. It's length totaled 115 feet. Herpetologists accept neither photographs as good evidence for the larger than normal anaconda, which they accept a length of 35 feet. Unfortunately the first photograph offers almost nothing for scale except a hut in the background so it is easily dismissed as 'a normal sized anaconda ingesting nothing more than a capybara which is native to the area'. Then much more limpid evidence was produced in 1959.

that photo is very common on the web.....but the good news is, this version is the original and it has far better detail.

it is impossible to gauge its size..even so, it's body is very wide at the top end. you're looking at its tail and about 15ft of body, it looks very bulky to me because a lot of its body is submerged...BUT WHAT YOU CAN SEE IS MASSIVE!

the rest of its body has probably sunk or is out of photo...the red lines i've drawn are about 15 or so inches wide!....even so, it's very hard to tell its true size....the snake is upside down

this looks to me to be a giant anaconda too...the distance from head to tail in a strait line has to be at least 50ft......if i'm wrong then this is a clever manipulation

5 TONS DAMMMMMN You telling me that that thing weighs almost twice as much as my car

This is all a load of BS. The heaviest snake on record is a 400 lb Burmese...No way a snake can reach 5 tons. The picture looks like a dead bloated sndaconda to me...Maybe pushing 15 feet. Nothing big, an andaconda this size would probably weigh around 200 lbs.

There are no snakes documented over 33 feet (reticulated python).

judging from the text in the bottom of the photo it is 35 meters long(114.625 feet) and 75 cm in diameter, weighs 4000 kilos. also, it says it was taken in brazil. its in a different language so im not sure.

Ever seen aliens? No? That Doesn't mean they don't exist.

A thought: if it's a dead snake, then maybe it's gotten all swollen 'cos of gases? Then it might not be longer than usual, only fatter, but you wouldn't be able to tell since some parts are submerged in mucky water.

frog fish is right its just a dead bloated snake chilling in the water its stupid to think its a "Giant anaconda" because there is nouthing to gauge it to. people thought this head of nessie in the loch ness was a real pic but it was only 2 inches high http://iep.alien.de/grafiken/nessie1.jpg think about it people theres nouthing that lets u judge the size of it just looking at it and goin eh thatl ooks like its abut 50+ feet is stupid

Its all perspective...Aliens have the whole universe to exist in...Snakes just have a few parts of the earth...

but you wouldn't be able to tell since some parts are submerged in mucky water

The fact that the snake is at the surface tells it is only in a couple inches of water... I'll say that's about a foot of hidden snake.

Here's a couple older pic's i found..not sure how big they are but no where close to 40'.

The snakes in those pics are just barely pushing 20! The snake in the center pic is discernable :lol: I'll say maybe 10 feet....

I understand what your saying but man hasn't trod on every part of this planet. I find it pretty ignorant when people sit at a PC screen saying they know 100% that something doesn't exist.
