>> It was the hardest catch I've ever done

in my life. Thank you so much, Connor.

Thank you so much, Fernando. This guys

is your neck marinas or the green

anaconda,

the largest snake species in the entire

world. We literally just dove in the

Amazon and caught this beautiful,

gorgeous snake. And I almost drowned. I

definitely almost drowned trying to

fight it. This snake, all right, hold

on. Deserves all of the respect it can

get. And I'm sorry, big girl or big guy,

for tearing you out of your home, but I

just wanted to show people how beautiful

this snake is. We have no clue how big

it is, but we're going to measure it.

And oh my goodness. Oh.

Oh yeah. Look at that right there. there

with just a love nip. Split me right

open, pierced the vein easily, and

that's just incredible. These snakes are

so strong, and that was me letting my

guard down. Don't ever let your guard

down around these snakes. But I just

want to admire you, sweetheart. It's

okay. You deserve that bite. You deserve

that bite. But this is what it's all

about, guys. Getting out there in the

wild and experiencing these snakes up

close. Caveman Wildlife Crew, baby. I'm

going to stop bleeding everywhere,

hopefully. And uh we're going to try to

get some pictures and some measurements

of this beautiful snake and see how big

it is. Oo.

>> Oh, that was sucky.

>> Oh, sorry. I freaked.

>> Are you okay?

>> Yeah.

>> How you want something, too?

>> It's definitely worth It's the worst

bite I've ever had for sure.

>> Hold on. I've got you. You got the

snake?

>> Yeah.

>> Okay.

>> Are you okay?

>> I think

I know.

>> I got you.

The last year all the time the guy

drives this this year I find a cond

>> bro this is insane it's a huge one you

have to go to some dry area to take a

pictures outside or

>> here for a dry area right

>> yeah yeah

>> bro that this is insane this is a huge

one

like a

Okay guys, here we go. Releasing the

green anaconda unknus. My first one

ever. So, here's what we're going to try

to do. We're going to try to gently

angle her head out here towards the

swamp. And she's very tired. These are

very heavy-bodied snakes. So, they tire

out on land very easily. But I think

Yeah, there we go, sweetheart. If we can

just get her going in the right

direction, she will start to move off

into the swamp herself and go on her

way. There you go, big girl. There you

go, big girl. And Fernando, I'll let you

come in right here with the Sony and you

can come in real close. It was such an

honor sharing space with this snake and

getting to see it slide back off healthy

is just an honor. Is just a privilege. I

feel absolutely blessed to be able to

share the planet with snakes like this.

Guys, thank you so much to Fernando for

allowing us to get out here in the

Peruvian Amazon being a phenomenal guide

and just showing us and teaching us how

to find these elusive snakes. Thank you

so much to my best friend Connor Head

for helping me catch this snake. And

yeah, guys, we're just going to watch

her go. And you guys are going to watch

her go with us. As you can see, despite

being a little stressed out and tired

from the catch, she is a-ok. Okay. She's

more than fine. She's healthy. She's

happy. We did not stress her out too

much and she is just musling her way

through the swamp like she naturally

would and kind of taking the long route.

Look at that little like knot there. But

she's a-ok. Okay.

It does not get better than this. The

catch is one thing. The catch is always

the fun part. But when you get to see

the snake go right back into its own

habitat, safe and sound, perfect and

okay, looking all beautiful, looking all

good as she should, it's just that much

better.
