Anaconda man speaks: Why I wanted to be eaten alive

Snakes do eat people. At least, that’s what Amazon expert Paul Rosolie tells me. “The last thing I saw was the snake with its mouth opening hitting me right on the forehead. Then she wrapped me up. The power is just incredible.”

“I tried to break free of the crush, but there was nothing I could do because the snake had my arms. Your legs can peddle as much as they want, you won’t be able to get up.”

It’s not every day you get to discuss with a person what it feels like to be eaten by a giant anaconda.
