Paul Rosolie, a conservationist, did the unimaginable – he attempted to get eaten alive by snake, a huge anaconda.
The reason why he did that was to raise awareness of the dangers lurking at the Amazon rainforest.
Rosolie, who is a huge lover of the nature, has been studying the complex ecosystem of the Amazon for years.
However, his dramatic attempt to draw attention to the issue of the quick disappearance of the habitats ended almost tragically.
When he approached the huge green anaconda, Rosolie was equipped with a custom-made carbon fiber suit. It was designed to withstand the immense pressure of the snake’s constricting coils.
The suit also had an integrated oxygen supply. Of course, there were a number of cameras attached to it in order to film his endeavor.
The attempt of getting eaten alive by the snake was shown in a Discovery Channel documentary.
However, despite wearing the special suit, Rosolie, who didn’t suffer significant injuries, explained that he had a hard time breathing when the anaconda threw its strong coils around his body.
The pressure he felt was immense.
“I’m getting coils over me,” he said during the encounter. “She’s got my arms pinned. She knows there’s nothing I can do.”
