What to do in case you are attacked by an anaconda.

[galdur]

1. If you are attacked by an anaconda, do not run. The snake is faster than you are.

2. Lie flat on the ground. Put your arms tight against your sides, your legs

tight against one another

3. Tuck your chin in.

4. The snake will come and begin to nudge and climb over your body.

5. Do not panic

6. After the snake has examined you, it will begin to swallow you from the feet

and - always from the end. Permit the snake to swallow your feet and ankles.

Do not panic

7. The snake will now begin to suck your legs into its body. You must lie

perfectly still. This will take a long time.

8. When the snake has reached your knees slowly and with as little

movement as possible, reach down, take your knife and very gently slide it into

the side of the snake's mouth between the edge of its mouth and your leg, then

suddenly rip upwards, severing the snake's head.

9. Be sure you have your knife.

10. Be sure your knife is sharp.

Good luck!

Male or female anaconda? If the latter ...

Unfortunately for anacondas consumption of humans hasn´t played a meaningful part in their evolution otherwise   they´d have figured out long ago to start with the head end or if that´s not practical make sure that the prey is stone dead before consumption starts.

Great idea but what to do when it tries to inject venom on the legs before swallowing?

Anacondas kill by constriction and as far as they´re concerned if it doesn´t move it´s safe for consumption. Which is a rather lengthy process for something as large as a human. They don´t waste time and energy on constricting something that is already still. It´s just another carcass to them. Thus it´s key to play dead and don´t panic.

And what if you don't have a kinfe?

[kingaltcoins]

What about a Russel viper !

[galdur]

And what if you don't have a kinfe?

If you don´t have a knife you didn´t read the manual and will suffer death by suffocation before becoming a meal for the anaconda.

And what if you don't have a kinfe?

Then use your teeth or your nails (if they are sharp enough like girls do )! Or die like a Samaritan!

A ki-nife?
I think I have heard of one of these before. It is combination of a knife and a kite. Right?
It would definitely be useful against an anaconda if your trapped in one.

Anacondas attack in the water so if you get attacked you have to fight back or you're dead. You won't be able to run and if you don't have anything sharp it should be over in less than a minute.

Big anacondas that could eat humans also hunt on the ground although they spend most of the time in the water and in marshes.

I think you watched that movie with J.Lo to many times. They don't always attack in the water. Sure they are faster in the water but they live in the jungle so can attack you there too. So they hang in trees and when they feed they go in the water where they are faster. The nature channel is a wonderful thing

Exactly, good man!    
You know these things and watch the nature shows too.  
I have also read some books on the subject too after watch the Blood Orchid movie

It´s a fascinating animal which can swallow big prey but even the biggest ones mostly subside on small, quick and easy prey birds, fish, rodents and such. Big catch is good, a deer or a human probably means that the snake can take a few weeks off from eating but the downside is that swallowing and processing takes time and in the meantime  the snake is vulnerable against other predators that might be interested in taking a bite out of it. I guess evolution leads to increasing practicality.

Anacondas are known lovers of quality music so just start singing pretty much any tune released in the last decade or so.

I am guessing you are thinking of a cobra.
Anaconda is much too big to be tricked by a snake charmer like those in India on the side of the road

He thought anaconda and cobra are of the same species, most probably never seen an image of anaconda before.
