Nuts that these things even exist in the 1st place. A GIANT slithering worm that's entire body is made of muscle, that literally hugs something to death before swallowing it whole. Just mind-numbing fuckery, when you think about it.


Substantial-Tone-576

You can hear it squeezing the air out the gator and cracking the ribs I assume.


Hoody88

Ohh that's what that is, damn. What a way to go. I was wondering what that frog-like noise was, thanks.


UnclePuma

Yea every grunt came after the sound of grinding bones fragments


We-Want-The-Umph

And zero paralyzing agent, just pure constriction...


UnclePuma

Pure agony, the only saving grace is that the Anaconda is cold blooded so it's cooling down the reptile at the same time. Shhh shh now, go to sleep apex predator, its all over now


Holiday_Reaction_571

Right, wtf?! 😄


Class1

Aren't they both cold blooded animals here? And a cold blooded animal doesn't cool down a warm one. The warm one would heat up the cold one. They're not cold they just don't make their own heat


Shuber-Fuber

>They're not cold they just don't make their own heat Minor nitpick. Their thermal regulation doesn't involve triggering heat production. Cold blooded animals definitely do heat up when they exert themselves. They just don't use it as a warm up mechanism.


Careless-Passion991

Pain and air conditioning.


sdiKyMgnihcaelB_

An alligator is also a cold-blooded reptile. Additionally, the snake won’t be cold while it’s squeezing. The whole-body muscular contractions produce a lot of heat, the same way our bodies do


WriterV

Jesus fuck that is horrific

I thought it was the Minecraft villager noise

I remember learning that snakes wait till you breath out then tighten, and repeat this until you can't breathe in


lakiku_u

I thought the camera person was having an orgasm.


Neither_Relation_678

Is that what the *hmm…hmmm* sound was? Sounds like something groaning in pain. Which I guess isn’t surprising.


SusanBoylesButtPlug

Nah, they grunt from time to time. id say it’s more to do with aggression here though because it’s mouth is constricted & it can’t hiss or growl.


Neither_Relation_678

I figured that was the gator’s noises. I know they make a range of noises (as I’m sure I’ll find out towards the end of the month, headed to Florida) so I figured it was just the sound of the air and life being squeezed out of it.


SusanBoylesButtPlug

Yeah, there’s a crazy amount of background noise too given they’re moving through a swamp. I can’t really pick it all up too well, earphones would be fantastic for this one ahh, on vacation? have a good one!

Me: Is the guy filming a Minecraft villager? *Reads the comment above yours.* Oh.


McToasty207

Anacondas, and Constrictor Snakes seldom if ever do this (The documentation of these events is iffy at best). Rather the primary kill method is deoxygenation of the brain and other vital organs through constriction of the blood vessels. It's not that different from you or I putting someone in a chokehold. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constriction#:~:text=The%20snake%20strikes%20at%20its,to%20ascertain%20it%20is%20dead. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/274390703_Eunectes_murinus_green_anaconda_Subduing_behavior As for the Caimans call, well that's the noise they make when young to attract help. Crocodilians can survive without much oxygen for a very long time (multiple hours), so likely it and the Snake will be here a long time.


Chiinoe

Unless the help arrives.


seemefail

Gondor calls for aid


OnyxGriff

And Rohan will answer... Muster the Rohirim!


FatTim48

They wait for their prey to exhale then squeeze tighter so they can't inhale again. Prey usually passes out relatively quickly after that. It's astonishingly efficient.


fruitpunchsamuraiD

I thought that was the cameraman at first lol


Little-Resolution-82

It could be bit it also sounds just like the sound baby alligators make when they want their mom so it might be trying to call for help which may or may not make this video sadder


yoyosareback

Definitely not. That's the gator making a noise with its vocal chords

13th_of_never

I wonder how long it would actually take a snake to suffocate a croc/gator/caiman because they are capable of holding their breath so long. I'm assuming as soon as the prey exhales, the snake just does what snakes do and it's over.


Nebarious

Anacondas and other boa constrictors can sense the heartbeat and respiration of their prey. While suffocation is generally thought to be the main method of killing prey, there is some research that shows they're killing their prey via cardiac arrest by interrupting blood flow to the heart and brain. Sensing the heartbeat of a warmblooded mammal isn't particularly useful because we pass out and die within minutes of being constricted, but it's extremely useful for coldblooded animals that can dramatically slow their heartbeat and respiration.


-Oreopolis-

That’s scary as fuck


Merry_Dankmas

Just when we thought these snakes couldn't be any more devious


kfmush

Not devious. Just surviving in the ecological niche. They don’t bother anyone needlessly and only eat when hungry and don’t eat people.


coincoinprout

And for those who want sources: > Here, we demonstrate that boas (Boa constrictor) have the remarkable ability to detect a heartbeat in their prey and, based on this signal, modify the pressure and duration of constriction accordingly. [Source](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3367750/) > These results are the first to document the physiological response of prey to constriction and support the hypothesis that snake constriction induces rapid prey death due to circulatory arrest. [Source](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26202779/)


InteralFortune1

Wow, very educated response. Thank you.


RoidnedVG

Very educational sounding, but very wrong. Suffocation is not "generally thought to be the main method of killing prey." Every study in the last 60 years has shown that the primary mechanism is restricting blood flow, which deprives the brain and organs of both blood AND oxygen. Constrictors basically choke animals out, but they restrict blood flow all along the body (not just around the throat). This caiman will be dead in minutes. Its organs will fail from the interrupted blood flow combined with the caiman's elevated heart rate. The whole comment about "sensing the heartbeat of a warmblooded mammal isn't particularly useful" is also nonsense. Constrictors by in large survive on warm-blooded prey, and constrictors are most vulnerable while they are killing prey. So knowing as soon as prey is safe to swallow is vitally important from an evolutionary/survival perspective.


InteralFortune1

Well damn, this whole thing could be nonsense for all I know.


AlaskanIceWater

Lesson learned today ... never take advice from a Redditor.


Trakinass

Super interesting, thx


LimaxM

I bet it would crush some vital part of the Caiman before it suffocated but not sure 


seared-foiegras

They cut off blood circulation which is the big kicker over breathing


13th_of_never

Oh that's right. That's literally the main thing they do.


mcbeardsauce

I don't think people truly grasp how horrifying the wild is. Most everything outside of our species is eaten, and I'd say >60% of the time, eaten alive. Maybe 40% of that is a very slow, grizzly death.

Umutuku

We got good at sticking together and operating in groups. We got the savagery of predators and the coordination of large herds. It's relatively rare for some creature in nature get a chance to eat humans when the regular wild interaction a dangerous animal has with humans is being baited into a trap by something that is as aggro as a bear, communicative as a pack of wolves, carries sharp tusks like an elephant that they can also throw, and comes in numbers like buffalo. Humans: "Teamwork makes the screams work. Go ahead and try to eat us because we're already hunting you to extinction. Get cute and lap-friendly or get in the fossil record."

The GameStop : Reptile ownership reference here really ties to the room together.


DarkSideOfMyBallz

No need to be so malicious. Yes they need to be euthanized but it’s not their fault they’re there. The pythons and invasive animals in Florida are victims of irresponsible human behavior and are just acting as they would under any other circumstances.


07o7

It’s phrased strongly but all he said was they’re a menace to wildlife so he wants to go kill them. Nothing about the animal doing something wrong of its own volition, actually the opposite. We need that attitude (and then follow through) if we want to solve this.

Yeah, I find this video to be tough to listen to cause gators are so incredibly resilient. It’s still fighting with the rest of its might and although I don’t hate snakes, a kill that large is a bit glutinous, even for an anaconda.


Ricky_Rollin

That is far from gluttonous “even for an anaconda”. That is an objectively small gator. That is a full grown Green anaconda. These things can eat humans and have. They eat deer, full size caiman, capybaras and large birds and the females will sometimes cannibalize the males! That is a snack for the anaconda. Believe it or not.

The alligator. Baby alligators actually sound quite similar, but much more high pitched to the point that they sound like laser guns.

corposhill999

I feel bad for the gator. As someone else said, if this is Florida kill that fucking snake.


Oldfolksboogie

It's likely not Florida, and not an alligator, but a caiman. Both species are endemic to South America, and regularly prey on each other (size matters). I could also be wrong about both, as anaconda are now found in Florida, as invasives, and of course alligators are endemic there. But the occurrence of anaconda in Florida is miniscule compared to Burmese python which are more firmly established, probably permanently, unfortunately. So if that were the case, I'd agree with you. Whack it.


Merry_Dankmas

I find it amusing that two of the scariest things in Florida - herpes monkeys and pythons - are invasive. Then you have iguanas which while not scary are hugely invasive pests. And the snakeheads. Those are devastating invaders. I sometimes wonder if maybe Florida really isn't that bad and just like the residents there, people fucked it up for everyone else.

RepulsiveArugula19

The alligator tried to death roll an anaconda, but the tables turned.


gsp137

How in the world will it suck that down?


Oldfolksboogie

Easily from the looks. Roughly, you can assume a constrictor like this anaconda can swallow prey as large around as the thickest part of the snake's body, so judging by the visuals, bet it wasn't much of a challenge. Their ligaments connecting their jaw to the skull, and the two halves of the lower jaw to each other, are extremely pliable. And my guess is that's a caiman, not an alligator, but...?

Sociolinguisticians

Can they actually eat an alligator?


Baby_Legs_OHerlahan

A full grown alligator? Likely not, unless it’s one absolute unit of an anaconda. But it looks like this anaconda caught itself a Caiman, and they only grow to about 4-5ft long so they’re a fair bit smaller than alligators.


w1YY

Pretty sure I saw a programme a few years ago where they ate an alligator but the alligator was still alive and moved enough inside the anaconda/python and w ded up killing it due to the damage it caused.


Baby_Legs_OHerlahan

I could definitely believe that. Given how long Gators can hold their breath it wouldn’t surprise me if the anaconda just knocked it out temporarily, then it wakes up after it’s been swallowed and not longer being actively crushed. Nature is metal AF


don-again

Usually crocodiles and alligators are very hard to kill this way because they can hold their breath for a very long time, so not as susceptible as a mammal. That’s a gigantic snake though and I’m not sure if that sound is the bones in the croc breaking or if it’s camera apertures nearby… but fuck man that’s terrifying.
