Paul Rosolie, a conservationist, did the unimaginable \u2013 he attempted to get eaten alive by snake, a huge anaconda.<\/p>\n

The reason why he did that was to raise awareness of the dangers lurking at the Amazon rainforest.<\/h2>\n

Rosolie, who is a huge lover of the nature, has been studying the complex ecosystem of the Amazon for years.<\/p>\n

However, his dramatic attempt to draw attention to the issue of the quick disappearance of the habitats ended almost tragically.<\/p>\n

When he approached the huge green anaconda, Rosolie was equipped with a custom-made carbon fiber suit. It was designed to withstand the immense pressure of the snake\u2019s constricting coils.<\/p>\n

The suit also had an integrated oxygen supply. Of course, there were a number of cameras attached to it in order to film his endeavor.

As the snake held tighter, his heart rate increased.<\/p>\n

After it was extremely difficult for Rosolie to breath, the team who monitored the experiment freed him from the snake\u2019s hold.<\/p>\n

In a piece for\u00a0The Guardian<\/em>, he described feeling \u2018grimly amused\u2019 by the trailers in which he was shown being \u2018eaten alive\u2019 by the snake. But at the same time, it sparked criticism from both animal welfare organizations and the public.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was willing to try something risky and yes, maybe ridiculous, to bring attention to a place and a species I loved.<\/p>\n

\u201cI figured that if feeding myself to a snake was the price I needed to pay to try to alert the wider community about the devastation we are waging on nature, I had to accept.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo on a sunny September day, I spent two hours in that claustrophobic suit, being constricted by a captive anaconda,\u201d Rosolie said.<\/p>\n
