So why would anyone, unarmed, want to be so close to one in the wild that it might try to kill you? Well if you are conservation biologist named Ryan Bolton, you would do it to get some good video!

Ryan says he wants to raise awareness and appreciation for earth's wildlife but came to the conclusion that boring scientific essays will not do it. So, he taught himself photography and started taking pictures of animals from all over the world. (see his photos on his website here ) It was in his pursuit of documenting wildlife that he came across a giant Green Anaconda. 'I was in Peru,' he told me. 'I heard from the locals that there was a palm swamp where green anacondas had been spotted. So I spent everyday for two weeks going out to this palm swamp paddling around in this dug out canoe that was half full of water.'

One day when Ryan was out paddling around in the palm swamp, he saw something through the jungle. It was a 20 foot Green Anaconda. Ryan took a few pictures from a distance but the snake moved into the water. Ryan didn't want to test his luck, so he headed back to where he was staying thinking that would be the end of it. But no sooner did he get to his room than he started planning his return. He wanted better pictures and knew this was probably the only chance he would ever have.
