Ignorance at it's worst

-shrug- It was a long time ago that I read the article, so I could just be mixing up numbers. I thought it was an abnormally larger one though, and it was the only one ever found that was even close to "huge".

"The largest reticulated python ever found in the wild was reported in 1912 from the island of Celebes (now known as Sulawesi) in Indonesia. This snake measured thirty-three feet." Well there we go. That's the largest one on record.

Simply post these pics and encourage others to do so... Educating people on how simple it is to make a small snake look huge is the best way to go on something like this..

There are a lot of people ignorant about animals in general. Just the other day, a friend on facebook was posting a photo of a dikdik and claiming it was a baby giraffe. Then there was that felt toy bear from etsy that was being shared as a live newborn polar bear.

These self-alleged animal lovers must love animals so much, they seem to forget to learn about them!

Here's a non-snake example.

Giant George, the Great Dane. Yes, he's a huge dog. (I forget if he's the world's tallest or biggest dog - I think it's tallest).

Look at this first picture. Pretty darn big dog, but not too insane.


Then look at this photo. Using perspective distortion, it makes him (and the guy's legs) look ABSOLUTELY, RIDICULOUSLY MASSIVE.

I know it's not the point of this post, but I can NOT get over that dude's legs lmao! They're so bizarre haha.

North Carolina? I think not, Indonesia likely (Bangka), it looks like that same photo from last year. It is clearly a big animal but not the monster claimed. I believe it was Richard Shine whom said "these giant pythons always shrink whenever a tape measure turns up" is it not always the truth? I would guess with the bronx zoo offering a large amount of money and nat geo having put up large sums for searches for massive snakes. Anyone actually finding such a thing would be wealthy and have notable and creditable news sources all over it along with accurate and documented measurements.
