In 2014, conservationist Paul Rosolie attempted to be eaten alive by a green anaconda to raise awareness about the Amazon rainforest’s environmental threats. A nature lover and experienced traveler, Rosolie sought a dramatic approach to draw attention to the rapidly disappearing habitats.
Rosolie wore a custom-made carbon fiber suit with cameras and an oxygen supply. He provoked the anaconda to attack, and the snake’s powerful coils squeezed him. Despite the suit’s protection, Rosolie struggled to breathe as the snake tightened its grip.
The team monitored Rosolie’s vital signs, stepping in to rescue him when his heart rate spiked. The event sparked global discussions about conservation, highlighting both the beauty and power of nature.
