thats definately fake, a 8 year old wrapped up by a 16 ft anaconda for 30 minutes! no way! that kid would have been toast in about 30 seconds

No kidding... and his friends left him for however long to find and bring the old man?

I thin they exxaggerated times, or that was one sick, sick snake.

yeh anacondas have the most constricting power of all snakes! you die from blood vessels exploding not suffocation, a 16ft one could kill an adult pretty easily in a minute or less i would think

Absolutely. if you were to ask me, the lot of them were walking down the riverbank, the one kid was ahead a little bit, got attacked, the other two kids ran ten feet down the bank to the man, then they started beating it. The snake, probably sick already, was then bludgeoned to death before it could do any real damage....

At least, that's how it sounds feasable to me, and I don't entirely trust news. I once watched a news broadcast one day on three different channels, "Pit bull kills small child".... same story, all three channels. The dog? A purebred labrador. Someone must have told them, because shortly after the pictures of the dog were released to the news, they stopped playing it, and there were no follow up reports.

News exaggerates.

lol yeh no joke, the news is pathetic! my guess is that it bit the kid, and then tried to let go but couldnt get his teeth out for a second and after it let go they killed it! The kid doesnt have any bruising or anything except for the bite mark, i have been bit by my burm and it hurt like crazy, and its only 8 ft
