Meet the 33-foot-long Anaconda and Learn Some Facts About the World’s Largest Breed of Snakes

A shocking video uploaded on YouTube captures the moment a 33-foot-long anaconda was discovered by construction workers who couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

This gigantic beast of a snake, which tips the scales at nearly 900 pounds (408 kg), revealed itself in late September 2016 after the workers carried out a controlled explosion in the Cava of Altamira, situated in northern Brazil. To put things in perspective, a python named Medusa, crowned by the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest snake in captivity, and who resides at Kansas City’s Edge of Hell and Beast Haunted Houses, is a “mere” 25 feet in length.
