PICTURES: See 53 year old man who swam with deadly 26 foot Anaconda to take pictures!

That snake is massive oh! haba! Na only oyibo people dey do this kain thing, hian! continue to see pictures and read the story.

It lurks just inches below the surface coiled and ready to strike – and yet you wouldn’t know it was there.
These remarkable images show the enormous 26-foot (eight metre) anacondas of Mato Grosso in Brazil searching for prey in the murky depths.
They were captured by brave diver and snake enthusiast Franco Banfi, 53, who joined the beasts in their natural habitat armed only with a camera.

In the picture above, the snake is captured looking for prey to eat (usually mice, fish and birds, but don't dull they eat humans too)

 

The photgrapher was however lucky that the snake found a rodent to eat and wasn't interested in having him for dessert. Banfi, a father-of-two from Switzerland, said: ‘As the snake had just eaten it didn’t take much interest in us. ‘Everything is possible but I don’t think it would have eaten us. I was very close, I could have touched it if I wanted to.’

 

According to him, ‘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.’

Whew! personally i'm glad he survived it..
