Ross and his son Tom wrestle a 20-foot anaconda under water. Can you believe this? It would be rather unbelievable event that someone would willingly put his son in the dangerous hug of anaconda in the pool of water. But this video proves otherwise.
Unbelievable stunt of wrestling such massive snake is done by highly trained professionals. Obviously Ross has managed to teach Tom a lot about these magnificent wild creatures, get him to respected them for the dangerous predators they are, but at the same time, didn’t put any fear into the heart of his daredevil son. This young guy manege to effectively handle the snake. This is a really stunning video. Check out the screen caps and the video itself. The video features underwater photography and was produced by Guided Tours and sponsored by Silver Springs.

Mind blowing
They are just har*ssing the poor thing.
If you got the video,why all those annoying pics?The video is enough
This is so sad. They have a captive animal that is used to being around humans (note how it doesn’t begin to struggle or “coil” until the man is gripping its throat?). They let it go into the water and then the man grabs it to freak it out. There are no branches or rocks in the water for the snake to anchor itself on in order to get away. The only solid surface that the snake can anchor to for leverage is the man’s body.
The snake in this video is not coiling to kil, it is coiling so it can wrench its head out of the man’s grip. ANY time you see a snake’s head restrained like this (even a baby corn snake) it will exhibit the same “coiling” behavior… not to kil but to break loose. At several points in the video you can even see the snake let go, but the man is trying to make the snake look dangerous so he (the man) begins *spinning* in the water until the snake’s body is once again wrapped around him. I wonder how many times they put the animal through this stress just to make a cr*ppy video.
