Bartolomeo Bove and his friend Juca Ygarape were diving in the Formoso River in Brazil back in July 2019 when they ended up close with the largest snake in the world - a Green Anaconda. It's a massive 'nope' from me.

In the clip the huge reptile, which was around seven metres (23ft) in length and weighed about 90kg, can be seen lying on the riverbed as the divers get nearer.

Anaconda, one of the largest snakes to crawl the planet, and made infamous by a movie with the same title, is as fascinating as it is scary. Of late, social media and the internet has equipped snake enthusiasts to see the magnificent reptile going about its everyday affairs, which does not include crossing public roads. However, a recent Instagram video has captured the colossal serpent doing just that.

In the video, the anaconda can be seen crossing a motorway, inviting mixed reactions from passers-by that range from fear to awe. As the incredible reptile draws more people's attention, a cluster forms around the snake. People look astonished as the anaconda slithers past them and up the divider to move to the other side as it enters the tarmac. The entire traffic comes to a halt, and people are seen waiting for it to cross the street. This explains their apprehension.

Bystanders help anaconda cross the road

A few bystanders can also be seen assisting the anaconda in crossing the roadway and signalling incoming vehicles to stop and make way for the snake. Instagram users praised the good samaritans who aided the magnificent beast, which invariably ended up in a dangerous human environment.

Five days ago, the Instagram account @animalsventure shared a video with the caption: "Drivers had to halt their journey along a road in Brazil to make way for an anaconda to cross the road." However, the video's exact timing and location could not be confirmed.

1. Ok, I am fascinated by snakes and though wary, not really overly scared of them... BUT

DAMN... coming eyeball to eyeball with a nearly 23 foot Anaconda IN THE WATER! OMG! NO WAY!

BTW, if others can't get that video to play, this youtube should:

2. Sea Serpent

I like snakes too, but wouldn't want to be too close to one that could swallow me whole.

3. Wow, she is a beautiful animal.

When I was 3, I told a store Santa that what I wanted for Christmas was an anaconda and I was convinced he'd bring it. I was pretty disappointed when he didn't, lol.
