    CRAP, and they say they wouldn't eat humans, that is bigger than a human lol. i would think we'd be easier to digest, not so many hooves, horns, fur. well unless it ate robin williams

    *edit* At the bottom it says that they aren't sure if it has been staged or not.

    Olaf.. that isn't even an anaconda. It's a retic.

    I have heard debate that said it was staged, and the animal the retic ate was a pig. If you look at the lump before they cut the snake open.. it doesn't look very human shaped, does it? The hard thing to explain is the pic of the person with their head still in the snake.. interesting pics anyway.

    Both of these pics have been on here before, you probably could find them if you searched.

    A snake can not eat a human because there shoulders are to broad.The funny thing about these pics are like shelby stated its not a anacoda its a retic.The phonies could not even get the type of snake correct .Now dont get me wrong a large snake can kill a human.

    Cool Re: Ever seen a snake eat a gazelle???????

    (Caution: Graphic and potentially disturbing picture)

    I thought you said they couldnt eat a human this picture was in venezula i think and when the natives killed the snake they noticed the weird shaped contained in its body and when they cut him open they were really surprised to see what layed inside, only a few hours after the digestion started to take place

    EDIT by JLC: Two things, please. First, when posting pics from another website, it is best to use a link because the image "steals" bandwith from that website everytime the thread is opened. Second, if you feel you must share such a graphic pic, a link with a caution would be nice. Not a fun thing to open up first thing in the morning.

    Re: Ever seen a snake eat a gazelle???????

    And an on-topic reply to the post above.....I think there's a LOT of debate about that picture and whether it was staged or not. It's definitely not some sort of proof that snakes would or could eat an adult human, in my opinion.

    Re: Ever seen a snake eat a gazelle???????

    I have seen those pics before and they seem staged. Can a adult (20'+) snake eat a human, yes a human child, but not a full grown adult our shoulders are just to broad for even a snake to get its amazing jaws around, the only way would be for it to take a adult feet first and that would require both legs to be together at the start of consumption.

    You can find the whole set of pic's before and after they cut the snake open on rotten.com, just in case anyone wants to see them. I dont think they are staged!
