An astonishing video has surfaced online, featuring a giant anaconda slithering through a stream in the Amazon rainforest. After the footage went viral, many raised questions regarding its authenticity. The clip, which appeared to have been shot from a helicopter, captured the massive snake moving through a water body surrounded by lush greenery. A user on X (formerly Twitter) posted the video online with the caption, “Once again, a big anaconda snake was seen in the Amazon forests."

While some viewers asked if the video was created with the help of artificial intelligence, others were just left stunned by the rare sighting.

Anacondas are generally found deep inside the Amazonian forests. They are known to be the largest and heaviest snake species in the world, weighing more than 90 kg. These colossal reptiles are non-venomous and can grow over 20 feet long.

Anacondas mostly live in swamps, marshes and slow-moving streams. The snakes can easily kill their prey by coiling around them. Despite their reputation as a fearsome creature, Anacondas are generally shy in nature and avoid human contact.

A few months ago, a video created a buzz on the internet where a group of tourists in Brazil was seen capturing photos and videos of an anaconda. The snake was seen moving slowly through the water, leaving onlookers both terrified and in awe.

The clip was shared on Instagram by a page named Inside History. “Tourists in Brazil recently spotted a giant anaconda slithering through a lake after having just eaten," read the caption of the post.

    Earlier in April, a never-before-seen species of anaconda was discovered in the depths of the Amazon rainforest during an expedition for the shooting of a National Geographic series, hosted by Will Smith. The event unfolded within the remote region of Bameno.

    Accompanied by indigenous Waorani hunters, a team of scientists, led by Professor Bryan Fry from the University of Queensland, had explored some untouched areas of the Amazon for 10 days. The anacondas were spotted in shallow waters– one of their preferred habitats. The Waorani hunters had a key role in the discovery as they assisted with their deep understanding of the land and its wildlife.
