There is hardly any person who does not love nature. Roslyn is a nature lover from Texas, USA. She completed her studies in wildlife and got to work with a renowned TV channel. Her first assignment was to prepare a documentary on the Amazon rain forest.
She was very excited as it was her first project and that too for the forest she always wanted to visit. She started her journey with her colleagues on 1st December 2019. They selected to begin exploring from the Manaus city of Brazil.
After reaching Manaus, Roslyn spent an entire day with the locals to know the people and the wildlife around the city. Everyone warned them to stay away from the habitat of anacondas. The next day they started their journey.
They filmed the faunas around the riverbank. After some time, one of the crew members, Martin found an anaconda trying to hunt a turtle. It was not that big but still around 15 feet.He decided to film the whole incident and others agreed. While they were trying to shoot it, the anaconda got angry, probably because it was getting disturbed.
Must check- Do Anaconda’s are good pets?
It attacked Martin and constricted him. He was not prepared for the sudden attack, so he started screaming in fear. Luckily, the water was shallow, so the crew members were able to get him released from the constricting. Martin breathed a sigh of relief.Other members of the team were also afraid and decided to hang up shooting for that day.
Martin was lucky because the anaconda was not a massive one, and around ten people accompanied him. Imagine you are on an excursion in Amazon with a couple of friends, and an anaconda attacks you. The thought itself is frightening. If the water is deep, then there is hardly any chance to get rescued because they can swim very fast in deep water. So, you must be very careful if you go around the habitat of anacondas.
What to do if Anaconda wraps around your neck?
Here are some tips you can follow if an anaconda wraps around you though you will have very little time to react.
1. Exhale very little- If an anaconda constrict you, exhale very little because if you exhale deeply, then the snake will squeeze you further, and it won’t be easy for you to inhale again.
2. Attack the anaconda:Carnivorous animals don’t like to struggle much while hunting. If it finds the prey very aggressive and can harm, then it releases the prey and looks for an easier one. So, if an anaconda constrict you, use all your might o hit it on the head before it wraps around your head. The sudden blow will frighten the snake, and it will release you.
3. Bite the tail of the anaconda:Tail is a very sensitive part of the snakes and so of anacondas. If you bite the tail with all your might, it will cause intense pain, and the anaconda might release you.
4. Put some Alcohol on the head of Anaconda. They hate Alcohol.
We have discussed some tips you can follow if an anaconda wraps you; however, you must act very fast. If you are alone, it will be very difficult or impossible to get yourself released from the clutch of an anaconda. However, it is better to be prepared if you go in the vicinity of anacondas.
You must not go alone because you will get very little time to react, and once it constricts you entirely, then it will be too late for you.
