Discovery Claims It Will Show a Man Being "Eaten Alive" By an Anaconda

An anonymous reader writes Have you ever wished that you could watch a man be eaten alive by an anaconda from the comfort of your own home? The Discovery Channel is betting that the answer is yes with their upcoming special, Eaten Alive. The channel says wildlife filmmaker Paul Rosolie will don a custom-built snake-proof suit, and go inside a live anaconda. They've even released a teaser. It's unclear what scientific conundrum will be solved in the process of feeding Paul to the snake, or how he plans to get out.

Poor animal.

How are they gonna get him out again? Cut the snake open?

How about giving the beast some real food and/or just leave it alone?

Or film it from a distance and watch it eat some of its natural prey.
Isn't that what discovery channel usually does?

And, btw, AFAIK boa constrictors - which include anacondas - prefer their prey not breathing anymore. And they don't really care if it's bottled air you're breathing or not. They constrict you 'till you stop breathing. Hence the name. Duh.

To be honest, I kinda hope this snake teaches the guy a lesson and get's away with it. Now *that* would be some news. :-)
