I was walking past the living room when I noticed that Anaconda was playing on TV. Anaconda was the most UNrealistic, UNresearched, reptile-insulting movie ever made (Crocodile, Lake Placid and Godzilla don't fall too far behind). The anaconda would probably strangle itself to death if it saw the fallacy portrayed in this movie, or even sue Luis Llosa and his minion of writers for defamation.
To salvage the anaconda's tainted reputation of being a gluttonous predator, and for the peace of mind of our ophidiophobic friends (ophidiophobia is fear of snakes), here are some facts about the large Amazonian snake:
The anaconda is a boa constrictor. They're not poisonous and does not regularly hunt humans. Their diet is mainly composed of fish and reptiles, but they also pursue birds, small mammals-deer, piccaries, and rodents on land. It will take the snake approximately 4-6 days to fully digest the food because of their slow metabolism. Anacondas are nocturnal and sunbathe in trees or shallows during the day.
Which means that the anaconda we saw in the movie was one hell of a kiasu for hoarding the food supply while the rest of her species were tanning their skins. She must be suffering from severe indigestion and constipation too for eating too many humans at once.
P.S. The movie was such a waste of Jon Voight's talent. Nevermind Jennifer Lopez whom the anaconda can devour for her bad acting.
