Squeeze Force

[greenmonkey51]

Im watching a show on andacondas and they fitted a squeeze force monitor on a duck and let the andaconda go at it. They measured it a 90lbs per square inch. The equivalient of a school bus on your chest.

Interesting. How big was the conda?

[digitalkitteh]

It was on Super Snake last night. They didn't say how big she was. I'd guess 20 foot, maybe more.

I didn't watch that.. I really don't like the TV usually. lol

Meh! I wanna see it...we don't have a TV...=P

[greenmonkey51]

I couldn't have been more than 15ft.

I saw the same program and was going to post about this as well. Assuming it was the same snake they showed being captured earlier, it was like 22 ft.

Was I the only one who wondered how they planned to get the measuring device off the duck before the anaconda ate it?

We wondered about that too Robin but I'm assuming they had figured a way to retract the device at some point. It was an amazing show but then most National Geographic ones are. Now if I can only get the dang VCR to tape it next time it's on. I may just order a copy of the show on DVD and be done with it. I did like how they examined the internet pictures and tried to authenticate or debunk them.
