When a giant anaconda appeared at a construction site, workers quickly determined that something was seriously wrong with it. The snake was moving extremely slowly and had an unnatural large bulge on his body. When a vet opened the animal to reveal what was causing the bulge, no one could believe what they saw.
When workers called the vet, he decided he would come immediately. This snake needed to be operated on, because there was obviously something in its stomach that shouldn’t be there. It could very well be a life or death situation…
When the vet finally arrived, he quickly sedated the giant Anaconda. It wasn’t the first time he’d done a procedure like this, but he was still very nervous. He was not within the walls of his clinic, but in the middle of the jungle. Anything can happen out here…
When the vet carefully opened the huge bulge in the snake, the contents were immediately revealed and everyone’s jaws dropped to the floor. “How was this possible…?”
But did the vet arrive in time to save the snake’s life? What did they find inside the snake and why was the vet so incredibly surprised by it?
For a few months now, a new road in the Amazon rainforest had been under construction. Workers were working hard to ensure this new road was finished as quickly as possible, but it hadn’t been easy…
For a few months now, a new road in the Amazon rainforest had been under construction. Workers were working hard to ensure this new road was finished as quickly as possible, but it hadn’t been easy…
It had been a slow and difficult process. Getting materials to the site had been an enormous challenge due to the lack of available trucks. The constant dangers of the rainforest had also slowed down the process.
The workers were way behind schedule. They’d started to worry, because their employer was threatening to take action if they didn’t finish the job on time. Their employer even threatened to fire them if they didn’t hurry up. The workers knew they had to act.
They could no longer afford to slow down. Their boss gave them an ultimatum: they had until the end of the month or they would all be fired. The workers decided to work even harder than before. At that time, they didn’t know that they were about to face another “BIG” obstacle.
When the workers were clearing the path where the sidewalk would go, one of them suddenly jumped back. He had seen something come out of the vegetation that scared him to death.
Charles kept asking Olivia a lot of times if she was okay, but she always avoided his questions and got irritated if he continued asking.
It was an anaconda. But not just any anaconda… It was the biggest anaconda they had ever seen! It slowly crossed the end of the clearing they had just made.
The workers hoped it would pass quickly so they could continue with their work, but it looked like the snake had decided it was going to settle here. The workers were scared and surprised at the same time. What should they do?

They already noticed that the animal was moving very slowly. But why was the snake moving so slowly? They had no idea, until one of the workers suddenly saw what could be causing this problem for the snake.
When the giant anaconda was halfway through the bushes, a giant bulge could be seen on its body! The workers could hardly believe their eyes, they had never seen anything like this before. They had to act…
With the snake now obstructing their ability to work on the road, the workers knew they had to do something. But while they knew they had to do something, they were also very scared at the same time. Then one of the workers approached the snake…
“NO!” shouted the other workers. They warned their co-worker that the snake could act aggressively in this condition, trying to defend itself if it starts to feel threatened. The workers came up with another solution..
They decide they would have to call and try to get in touch with the nearest animal vet. When the call with the vet ended, the employee who called him reacted in shock.

The vet had said that the snake could very well be pregnant, and was perhaps getting ready to lay her eggs there, in the middle of the newly built road. To confirm this suspicion, the vet had a dangerous task for the workers…
She tasked the workers with trying to find out where the bulge is located on the body. To do this, the snake would need to be moved a little. Most of the workers were hesitant about whether they should actually do this. What if the snake attacked them? Then one of them takes control of the situation.
The brave worker decided that he would be the one to place himself into danger, to ensure that the others would be safe. Then 2 other brave workers decided that they were going to pull the snake’s tail, to try to stretch it. This way, they would be able to determine precisely where the bulge was located. As it turned out, luck would be on their side.
The head of the anaconda was a far distance away from the end of the tail, so the chances of it being able to bite them were slim. Especially with how slow the snake had been moving before. But they still didn’t want to take any risks, so they took extra security measures.
The 2 men equipped themselves with some of the toughest materials they could find, while the first brave worker joined them to distract the snake if necessary. With their hearts beating out of their chest, the 2 men grabbed the snake’s tail. All the other workers held their breath, hoping that everything would go according to plan… Some more joined in to help out.
Fortunately, it turned out that there was nothing to worry about. The snake didn’t resist and let itself be stretched almost completely. It became more and more obvious that something was very wrong with this animal.
The workers could now see exactly where the bulge was located on the body. They called the vet to report their findings. The workers were curious what to do next, as they had never seen a snake laying its eggs before. But the vets’ tone immediately changed when she heard where the bulge was
If the bulge had been due to eggs, it would have been located much further back on the body. The bulge was located at the beginning of the stomach, which meant that it was something that is probably stuck, unable to get further into the snake’s body. But what could be inside that snake?
The snake had obviously swallowed something it shouldn’t have and likely needed immediate surgery to survive. There was no time to lose. But the workers didn’t know what to do. They asked the vet for advice. Would she please come to help them? Or should they bring the snake to her? They hoped she would come to them.
But for the vet, getting to the worker’s location was a real challenge. She didn’t know the exact location of the snake and the workers. Plus, it was rush hour too, so she’d probably get stuck in traffic. Still, she needed to get there as quickly as possible to give the snake the best chance of survival.
One of the workers proposed to pick her up. But that would take a long time. Fortunately, one of the other workers came up with a great idea. There were still people in the company’s warehouse, who knew exactly where the workers were and how to get there. The vet agreed to visit the company’s warehouse.
After explaining the situation, a manager was willing to help her. They used the manager’s off-road jeep to cross the rainforest. The vet experiences one hell of a ride, as getting through the Amazon rainforest is never easy.
The trip took about 3 hours in total. A journey during which the vet had more than once considered whether this snake’s life was worth wasting a full day, plus potentially an extra one on it. Other animals in need may also have needed your help…
But she had made a decision that she would have to stick to. After 3 hours, she arrived at the snake. When she finally managed to lay eyes on it, she instantly knew that it had all been worth the effort.
The workers also struggled with the length of time they had to wait for the vet. Their fear became real. The snake had no intention of staying in its current spot. He’d waited long enough and was trying to move again. The workers had no idea what to do next.
Some workers just wanted to let him go, as it meant they could finally continue working. Why were they worrying so much about a snake in the first place? It was just an animal. They wanted to keep doing their work, as they wanted to make sure they finished before the deadline. But there wasn’t much consensus around the whole group of workers.
Others took the doctor’s words to heart and knew that if they released the snake now, it would surely die. Fortunately for the snake and the doctor, this group was the overwhelming majority.
The snake was still moving very slowly, so the workers managed to block its way back into the depths of the jungle with metal plates that they had brought with them as supplies. But this measure had a major drawback.
They couldn’t encase the snake completely, so they had to keep moving to keep blocking the snake’s path. The animal was obviously getting irritated by this and the workers had to be careful. Workers began to worry. Was this the right thing to do? Or was someone going to get seriously hurt?
A snake that size, even if it wasn’t in good condition, could easily kill one of them if it caught them. The workers knew they had to trust each other. It became a team effort where even the people who had wanted to let the snake go, helped out.
When the vet finally arrived on the scene, the snake was still lying in the same spot where workers had kept it. But it became increasingly obvious that this would not be the case for long, as the snake had become very aggressive at this point.
The snake didn’t even go for the sheet metal that was blocking its way, but instead targeted the workers who were holding the metal. Many of the workers had already been scared, but the fear of the snake had increased to a record level by now.
Some workers dropped the metal and ran away. The vet had to act quickly and knew the only chance she had was to quickly sedate the snake. But sedating the snake was not without certain risks.
There was always the risk that the snake might not wake up from it, considering the condition it was in. Still, seeing her so actively trying to attack the workers, the doctor was confident that she would survive the injection. The only thing left was to approach the snake with the tranquilizers.
