Interesting → Anaconda under pressure
Anaconda regurgitates an entire hippopotamus trying to avoid capture.

Due to its slow metabolism, an anaconda can go a long time between meals. A large animal may keep it going several months. One anaconda in captivity lived for two years without eating. Anaconda is the only natural predator of the jaguar, Amazonia's largest mammalian predator. There are a few stories of large snakes killing humans (reticulated python; the article is coming soon), but not many of them swallowing humans. The main reason, according to snake experts, is that snakes begin swallowing their prey at the head and with humans, the snake is confronted with a major obstacle when it gets to the shoulders. Snakes can ingest remarkably large creatures, but need a more gradual contour to do it.

| Rizzo your disgustingly obese mother's cunt can swallow this hippo. u even hear a splash when the water pig lands in the murky waters of her cavernous twat. and since u mentioned it i bet it could probably swallow a blue whale too. |

| A hippo in South America!!! There are no hippos anywhere except for Africa and a Hippo is the size of a small van, there is nothing in this world other than the blue whale that could swallow it and even then the whale will die. |

| The anaconda is native to South America. The hippo exists in Africa. I don't believe this is an anaconda unless it somehow managed to cross the oceans to Africa. Perhaps a boa or python but not an anaconda. |
