#489 โ€“ Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

It's given the local people jobs as guides and cooks and chefs and carpenters.

And so macaws are a huge part of that because it's one of the last places where you can see these flying rainbows over the canopy.

Or when you're on a branch from one of these trees and macaws fly under you.

#489 โ€“ Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

And again, that flyby, you just hear the wind in their feathers.

#489 โ€“ Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

And they just, they'll look at you over their shoulder and go, what?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 โ€“ Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

And just keep going.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 โ€“ Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

and just loud and they'll just keep going and then they'll join up with other macaws and they fly across the horizon.

#489 โ€“ Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

It gives you the sense like you're seeing something from the dinosaur times.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 โ€“ Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

It just looks like wild jungle and there's nothing human in sight and there's just this savage canopy to the horizon and just these beautiful birds flying over.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 โ€“ Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

They're just magical.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 โ€“ Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

So as you know, we've been studying the...

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 โ€“ Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

habits of eunuch these marinas for quite a while um the lowland green anaconda is the largest heaviest snake on earth and i've been practicing a lot for a long time and this is the biggest one we've ever physically caught this was just under 20 feet it was 19 feet something and you can see she's in the middle of shedding

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 โ€“ Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

And the other interesting thing with her is that she had blue eyes because she was in the middle of shedding and the scale over their eyes turns blue right before it comes off of their head.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 โ€“ Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

And so I've never caught a blue-eyed anaconda before.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 โ€“ Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

But if you look at the size of my head and the size of my hands, you start to imagine that thing's head is bigger than a Great Dane's.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 โ€“ Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

It's huge.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 โ€“ Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

And so the power on that, when we tried to lift her to measure her, we wanted to bring her up out of the stream and get her over to the side so we can straighten her out and measure her.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 โ€“ Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

And again, we're just trying to take some simple data points and then release her.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 โ€“ Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

And she, at one point, she just decided to flex her body and you just see 10 people fly this way.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#489 โ€“ Paul Rosolie: Uncontacted Tribes in the Amazon Jungle

And then she flexed in the other way and 10 people fly this way.
