An American naturalist filmed himself being 'eaten alive' by a snake for a TV stunt - but is now facing ridicule for getting his safety team to save him after just part of his head was consumed.
In footage aired on the Discovery Channel on Sunday night - it airs on UK TV on Friday - 27-year-old Paul Rosolie and his 10-strong team tracked down the 20ft-long, 18st anaconda to the headwaters of the Amazon river.
Donning a black armored suit, slathered in pig blood, Mr Rosolie then moved tentatively 'on all fours' toward the enormous beast as the cameras rolled and his wife, Gowri, watched.
Seconds later, the female anaconda - one of the world's most fearsome creatures - pounced on its 5ft 9ins victim, latching on to his head, before constricting his arms and body.
They should have left him to it.

Ah Steve Erwin you say.
Not the first man to be stung by something with huge flaps and smelling of fish.
Sorry, I just love that joke.
