Man fails in bid to be eaten by snake Anger as man not eaten by anaconda

Social media exploded with anger after a stuntman’s promise to be eaten alive by an anaconda snake failed.

The heavily-promoted stunt on the Discovery Channel provoked uproar when naturalist Paul Rosolie didn’t go completely through with the stunt.

Rosolie wore a carbon-fibre suit to protect himself from the snake killing him with constriction or its bite. It was covered in pig’s blood to entice the snake. For most of the TV show, Rosolie searched the rainforest for an anaconda. When he found one, he then spent a while trying to convince the anaconda to eat him.
