#1. Man Saves Grandson From Green Anaconda
When it comes to weight and mass, the green anaconda holds the title of the largest snake species on the planet. They can reach an astounding twenty-five feet in length and a weight of up to three-hundred pounds!
Some of the heaviest concentrations of these anacondas are found in South America, and sometimes people in the area have the unfortunate experience of coming into contact with these large snakes.
In one terrifying incident, a young Brazilian boy, who resided in an area about two-hundred and fifty miles Northwest of Sao Paulo, fell victim to a green anaconda.
One afternoon, when he and a friend were playing near a creek, they would have never imagined that a sixteen-foot green anaconda was watching them from just beneath the water’s surface.
As Mateus neared the water, the lurking anaconda decided to pounce. Using its sixteen feet of muscle, large jaws and teeth, the reptile took the young boy down with ease.
As it was thrashing him and sinking its teeth into Mateus’ neck and shoulders, the boy’s friend decided to run for help. Not a moment to soon, he returned with Mateus’ grandfather, who was ready to battle.
With a small machete and rock, Mateus’ sixty-six-year-old grandfather was finally able to free his defenseless grandson from the ravenous beast after nearly thirty minutes of fighting with it.
After the savage attack, Mateus was immediately rushed to the hospital. The eight-year-old boy held up pretty well after the incident, all things considered. After receiving stitches at the hospital, he made a quick recovery. He was very lucky to live through the attack, and walked away from it without even a broken bone.
