BBC (London, UK) 09 December 05 Greedy snake released into wild
A 2m long snake has been released back into the wild after eating a whole baby cow in one go!
The huge Yellow Anaconda was captured by police and residents in the city of Ipiazu in Brazil after it was spotted snacking on the 150 kg calf.
Seven men then helped move the reptile a safe distance away from Ipiazu, to an area near the Paranaiba River.
The anaconda was the third one found in the area in the last few months.
Experts say this might be the result of animals leaving their natural habitat because too many trees are being cut down, forcing them to travel further to find food.

The KFOR people in Oklahoma City have posted a video link to their news report on the same story ... ther before and after shots indicate that the anaconda possibly "regurged" during transport ... if it is the same animal.

Look down the left side of their page at http://www.kfor.com/, and it will hopefully still be there.
