Hi,
Did anyone else see 'super snake' on t.v last night? They had green anaconda's and some moody retics on, was very interesting actually.
They did a 'squeeze test experiement' with a green anaconda and a duck. Taped to the duck were a couple of sensors, which were used to measure the constricting force of the anaconda.
They measured this particular kill at 9000 psi, the equivalent of an American school bus (you know the big yellow ones) pushing down on a humans chest.. Ouch..
They also showed you some poor guy from Malaysia, who had apparently been killed by a big retic.
You should be able to view some footage here:

I felt so sorry for the poor duck. They kept cutting to it squawking and looking frightened |
