It is not known where the video was take, but anacondas are usually found in South America. So, it appears the gruesome moment might have taken place in any of the countries in the region.
Anacondas can grow up to 20 feet (6 meters) long and may weigh up to 330 pounds (150 kg). They aren’t said to be picky eaters, and can strangle and swallow anything from piglets to other snakes.
In fact, the mammal shown in the YouTube video may actually be a pretty humdrum meal for the monstrous snake.
