Aripo-Workers-Capture-Massive-Anaconda-Video-Killing-Caiman

http://www.cnc3.co.tt/press-release/mas ... iman-aripo

Worker at the Aripo Lifestock Station took a short walk to a pond to relieve himself around 10 am Monday when he came across a startling discovery.

A 12-foot anaconda was just about to have itself a meal, on 7-foot caiman and was applying the final act of constriction before it prepared to swallow the animal whole.

The worker called other workers who began recording video via their cell phones.

ne of them used a piece of wood to prod at the animals and the anaconda then made an escape leaving the dead caiman.

Animal Health Assistant Neshal Rampersad told us that while they are accustomed to seeing Macaquel snakes, they never saw an anaconda there before.

President of the Zoological Society Guptee Lutchmedial says the anaconda could very well have over-estimated his appetite.

He tells Guardian Media that the caiman is a normal part of the anaconda diet.

He added that the anaconda will sometimes eat a large caiman and die in the process because they can’t digest an animal that size.

The Anaconda is the world's largest snake and is found in parts of South America and in Trinidad and Tobago.

Up on that side has. When the contractors were clearing the e TecK Park at Wallerfield (not particularly far from the Aripo Livestock Station) back in 2005/06 thereabouts they found a pretty big one within there. I believe the herpetologist guy Sayeed was called in for that one. Not sure what they did with it.

dem ting here long time, & in places that would surprise you. I've seen them in the Arena dam area, Caroni swamp & river, Aranguez south & Laventille swamp. Basically anywhere there is a healthy caiman population you can find them, because that's their food source. But the caimans eat them too, especially the smaller ones.

Back in the day the older folks used to describe it as a "wheel, weel" or however u spell it

Huille

yup. French for oil. I suppose it's because when they in d water they kinda slippery & hard to hold on to. Or for the large amounts of fat the females have.
Either which way they can be aggressive if bothered, so better to leave them alone if ever you encounter one.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

I think they would describe the Plum Mitan river or by the river mouth to be ideal for them

All well and good for them to make that statement.
But I am 100% certain that the person that put that release together never had to watch a snake swallow their livestock in its pen.

Local Anaconda: Following the discovery of the "anaconda" (known locally as a "huille" - pronounced "wheel") at the Ministry's Livestock in Aripo.

Our main concern is that the Aripo Station is vast with large ponds and it also connects to neighbouring lands and rivers. The huille is likely to move about frequently and may find itself in danger with persons who may seek it out for sport or consumption (yes, some people consider it a delicacy). In the event it is practical and possible, and if the huille is seen again, the Ministry would consider relocating it to a different natural environment.

While at this time the huille poses no direct danger to the Ministry's employees or livestock, we must face the reality that there would be employees who feel uncomfortable knowing the huille has been sighted on the Aripo Livestock Station. We continue to monitor the issue.

The local anaconda is usually seen by farmers and hunters in Eastern and South Eastern/Icacos/Cedros areas in Trinidad

Local Snake - The Bushmaster ( Lachesis Muta )

Is a pit viper which normally measures about 1.8 metres (6 feet) long but may grow to as long as 3 metres (10 feet).

They are reddish brown to pinkish gray in colour and may bear x-like or diamond patterns across the back.
