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

If I was to hurt her, just like if I was to touch you in the arm with a needle, you'd react.

If I was to do anything that hurt her, which I'm not doing, she would turn around and bite me to say, go away.

But they also, they don't want to bite because their recurved teeth make it very difficult to detach.

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

And also they're putting their head then at the source of the danger.

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

It's not a good calculation.

And so these, the giants, and I've had the privilege of interacting with four or five anacondas in the 20 to 26 foot range.

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

And all of them have been very Leviathan like, and they just, they don't want to move.

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

They don't want you to, they just want to keep going.

And he's a, he's a hundred percent right on all of that stuff.

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

I don't know.

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

I've caught 90, 90 something anacondas at this point.

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

Many of them have been massive.

Then there's the one that me and JJ didn't get at the floating forest.

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

Cause it was bigger than,

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

bigger than we could tackle, bigger than my hands.

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

I couldn't touch fingers.

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

But every single one of them has chosen flight over fight.

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

Only the little babies and the smaller males get snappy.

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

They'll come back at you like a normal snake.

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

And just if you grab their tail, they'll try and just bite you and then go.
