(NYPOST) — Discovery Channel’s “Eaten Alive” special turned out to be a bit of a bait and switch.
Researcher and conservationist Paul Rosolie was attempting to get ingested by a giant green anaconda, but at the conclusion of the two-hour special, he had neither captured the 25-foot snake he went searching for in the Amazon nor gotten swallowed into the belly of the beast.
It was 70 minutes into “Eaten Alive” before Rosolie and his team caught a giant anaconda (measuring nearly 20 feet and 250 pounds), but he pressed on in the search for the monster 25-footer, which he had a brush with but was ultimately too big for him to restrain.
