Amazon's Legendary Super Python

Pet Question

In 1906, during his first expedition into the Amazon rainforest, the famous British explorer Percy Fawcett claimed to have seen and shot a 62-foot (18m) python, but he was unlucky. Fawcett was ridiculed by scientists, because although the scientific community at that time liked to find huge animals, and even faked the Cardiff Giant in North America in the early years, they still scorned the exaggerated figure of 18 meters.

British naturalists Henry Walter Bates and Alfred Russel Wallace Russel Wallace) also said that during the expedition, giant pythons exceeding 30 to 40 feet (9-12 meters) were discovered. Relatively speaking, these two big guys are more suitable. If you witness it and don’t have tools to measure it, it is easy to witness it. Wrong estimate.
