Baby anacondas attack zookeeper, he brushes them off like it’s no big deal

The video of the baby anacondas lunging at the zookeeper was posted on Instagram.

Jay Brewer, who founded The Reptile Zoo, is a big fan of Instagram and often posts exciting videos of reptiles. The clips show him interacting with different animals, such as carrying an alligator on his shoulder or handling a large snake.

Like his latest post, which shows him talking about baby anacondas while the tiny ones on a box in front of him try to bite his fingers.

"Wow, we're talking about wild baby anacondas. When you're a baby snake and all the other animals are looking at you like spaghetti, you have to realise that the world is a jungle, lol. So they have to be born with a natural instinct to protect themselves. Luckily they can calm down when they realise they are no longer at the bottom of the food chain. They're beautiful, and in a short time they'll feel at home and calm down, but for now, wow, they're a handful. They're from South America, and these yellow anacondas don't grow as big as the famous green anaconda, which can grow to more than 25 feet long. "These yellows grow to about 10 to 12 feet long and can have up to 60 babies. The babies are pretty cheeky little noodles," he captioned the video.

The video opens with Brewer standing in front of a box full of baby snakes. As he talks about them, the anacondas move towards him and some bite his fingers.

The video was circulated yesterday. Since it was posted, the video has been viewed nearly 1.5 million times, and that number is rising fast. People have also posted various comments about the video.
