I think so, it does sound rather strange, especially when you consider it's supposed to be a male (who naturally grow smaller than females)... And besides, if this is a male, and it's real, who cares? There's bound to be a big sister out there somewhere... I want her! lol
All the pics I've seen have been odd. They never show a shot of the snake in full length, just from the frontand down the back and there is always someone in the pic hiding the back end. Very strange. Who knows?!?! Why didn't they just leave it alone if it is real? Why rip it from the wild, it was obviously doing just fine on it's own if it really is that big!?!?!
Well, apparently it was living with a tribe for a while, who revered it as some religious icon (apparently), and it took a lot of doing for the zoo to get ahold of it, but it was already in captivity with this tribe beforehand.. Why not leave it alone? Because you know if certain other people found it, it'd be made into wallets in no time. I can understand their reasons for wanting to take it from the wild and protect it (sure, there's a commercial aspect too), but I can also understand the reasons for wanting to just leave it where it is.
Axe, not sure i'd b after his big sister,not really the sort of chick i like! prefer blondes, buch each to his own John. lol
lol... I love big snakes, but I'd never keep one... I know one day I'd slip up, and it'd probably kill me, hehe. Same reason I'd never keep hots, but I'll happily go round to my friend Jeremy's and play with his occasionally
Well, I was always hoping but I figured it was probably all nonsense. The "49ft record breaking retic" has proven to be nearer to 21ft long, and nowhere near the 1,000lbs originally claimed. The Guardian Newspaper sent somebody along with a tape measure to go check it out in person. Here's the news post, along with a link to the article
That doesn't surprise me...the pics of it were highly suspect. Wonder if that whole reel about it living with a "tribe" was nonsense?!?!
hehe quite possibly, however I still like the theory that the real monster is still with the tribe being taken good care of and they just palmed the zoo off with another large (but not record breaking) snake, lol.
