    The thing with a lot of reptile species, is they dont stop growing if they have enough food supply and an area big enough for them to function in. You see similarities in fish too where the fish wont grow bigger than a fish bowl- relative to its size so it still has room to swim. Its a weird phenomenon but it makes sense. Especially where the snake wouldnt have a ton of natural predators- or if someone brought a species from another country. Who knows, its an intriguing story

    • @diazclemenza3591
      @diazclemenza3591 10 місяців тому

      you're absolute right. Luckily there is still room for nature without humans in it and in those dense rainforest its possible that there are snakes bigger then we know.
      people just caught something and measures it and say this is the biggest animal while having no idea of bigger possibilties elsewhere.
      Then they put like a max size for that certain animal and limit other claims of bigger ones because they haven't been verified yet.
      So for those who doesn't need vertification its a higher possibilities that there are bigger snakes out there then that we have caught exactly the biggest living one.
      I mean scientist always make an indication of how many animals of certain species are alive while never knowing the nummer and having no idea how big they are

    Almost 20 years ago I visited a village 4 hours up the Rio Negro river outside of Manaus Brazil. One of the native villagers told us about an Anaconda that had climbed over the side of a small boat that was anchored near the shore…it was so heavy it tipped the boat over and sank it. The villagers ended up working together to kill it so it wouldn’t do it again or be a danger to their children. They unrolled the skin and it was just shy of 30 feet. It was as wide as my torso. It was amazing.

And because one of the tribe members tried to separate the snake from the cattle it attacked her.

She said one time she was cutting their way through the forrest. She got tired so she sat down and leaned against a log and the “log” moved. She said it was 3ft in diameter and didn’t stick around to see how long it was. She also said they were motoring down a tributary in a smaller boat and had to stop and weight for a snake to finish crossing the river. She estimated the river at that spot was 30 ft wide and couldn’t see its head on one bank and its tail on the other bank. She said “atleast” 50 ft on that one.

    Belgian pilot Remy Van Lierde said that while flying over the wilderness of Katanga province (southeastern Belgian Congo) in 1959, he spotted and photographed a giant snake 15 meters long, describing it as having dark brown and green coloring, with a three-foot long head and a white belly. He also said that as he flew in order to have a closer inspection, the reptile rose up to about 3 meters, making it look like it would have attacked the helicopter if it had been within reach. And so came the legend of the giant Congo snake.

The fishermen of the congo who saw this in real life(you can actually see some clips nowdays) say it's at least three times there boat but think it's bigger than that. There boats are 13 to 14 feet long.

    When I was 12 I was living with my mother along with some of my siblings in Birmingham Alabama for the summer and the local library had a reptile snake day. The library had a showing with a reptile specialist that brought several different reptiles plus several species of snakes. One of the snakes was a Albino Burmese Python it was a beautiful golden yellow and orange over 10 feet I want to say it was around 12-13 feet long. When the reptile specialist was done showing off the albino python they asked if anyone wanted to hold the Python. I definitely did but I was quite young and small cause I was Chronically ill at the time but my older brother went with me to the library reptile show so with my brothers help and the help of the reptile specialist I was able to hold the Albino Burmese Python. I'll never forget how awesome and powerful that snake felt even though it was very calm and relaxed at the time. I've always been very into animals and knowing about the wild I loved animal/wilderness documentaries and even went to a special Rain Forest class for two years. So when I was able to hold that beautiful animal I was so amped.

    This is how grandiose rumors get started when it comes to things like this. It was already impressive enough that the snake captured in that pic was thought to be about 50 ft. But when he described it before looking it up, it was 100 ft long, and struck at the low flying plane, when what really happened was it lifted it's head and got into a position to strike. It might not be intentional, but it just shows how easily stories get changed.

    The Anaconda though, is the heaviest snake with the heaviest ever being a monstrous 27 footer that weight in at about 500lbs.

    There are massive snakes and other animals in Central and East Africa. I was very interested in his story about the Colonel flying over Belgian Congo. I spent six months there a few years ago working private security and witnessed crazy large animals. Kane rats that were 3 ft long (I have pictures lol). One of my other partners from the US witnessed a snake that was over 40 feet in length crossing the road in front of one of his vehicles where he couldn't see either the head or tail for quite some time crossing the road which was 30 feet wide itself. There is quite a bit there left to be explored.

    Add to this the fact that many areas of the world are actually still unexplored. Having access to aerial and satellite Images gives us the impression that we explored those areas (especially heavily wooded areas) but there are actually just a couple of roads and millions of square miles that barely anybody walked through in the history of mankind, let alone exhaustively explored. There are woods in south america, the size of spain, that nobody ever really explored. There is just one Highway in the middle and that's it.

      I got lost for an afternoon in the Amazon forest. Best worst experience of my life. I cried tears of joy when I finally found my way back to camp, after essentially hiking in circles for 5 hours. The jungle has a life of its own. A matrix of animal pathways leading everywhere and nowhere- super hard to get your bearings. Started leaving markers on trail branches, and by process of elimination eventually found my way back.

It's interesting to see that everyone feels the same way that he's one of the best guess that he's had on. Forest has some awesome stories and he's really good at explaining them too.
