A 39-year-old math teacher in French Guyana recorded on video the capture of a 17-foot-long anaconda that had just eaten his friend’s dog. “At first I was not scared because I thought it was smaller,” said Sebastien Bascoules, a French citizen who’s lived in French Guyana for 15 years. “But I was very surprised by his strength and length – more than five meters.” The task quickly became a two-man job, but Bascoules said the massive snake was actually fairly tame.

Homeless people and their canine companions

Anyone who has ever had a dog knows that if you treat it with kindness, there is no limit to their loyalty. The concept of canine devotion to humans is beautifully illustrated in these photos of homeless people and their dogs. These dogs could go in search of someone more capable of feeding and housing them, but they do not. They are there in the trenches with their fellow humans who are battling mental illness, poverty and other poisons of humanity.

Deadly Lethal Lake Turns Animals Into Stone

There's a deceptively still body of water in Tanzania with a deadly secret—it turns any animal it touches to stone. The rare phenomenon is caused by the chemical makeup of the lake, but the petrified creatures it leaves behind are straight out of a horror film.

ACCORDING to Dante, the Styx is not just a river but a vast, deathly swamp filling the entire fifth circle of hell. Perhaps the staff of New Scientist will see it when our time comes but, until then, Lake Natron in northern Tanzania does a pretty good job of illustrating Dante's vision.
