All living creatures that appear in the world have their reasons for existence and deserve to be treated equally.
As usual, on his way home from work, Brazilian man Italo Nascimento Fernandes often stops by to pick up his wife.
To prepare for dinner, the couple stops by a supermarket to gather supplies for a cozy meal.
Suddenly, while driving, Fernandes spots a large creature seemingly hesitating on the other side of the road. It appears that this creature, a giant Anaconda, is trying to cross the road to reach the rainforest. However, the heavy traffic makes it difficult for it to proceed on its journey. At that moment, Fernandes, with his experience and strong love for animals, realizes he needs to do something.
The Anaconda is a giant snake native to the Amazon Basin in South America. They are semi-aquatic but rarely climb trees due to their large body mass. This species primarily inhabits aquatic environments and lives in tropical rainforests.
An adult Anaconda can grow up to 9 meters long and weigh 550 kilograms.
Anacondas are mostly nocturnal and tend to spend most of their time underwater. During this time, they can hide in swamps and wait for prey to swim by.
Therefore, the Anaconda that Fernandes encountered on the road may have been hunting in another area and was trying to find its way back home.
After observing for a while, the kind man noticed that there were no signs of drivers stopping or yielding to let the snake pass, so Fernandes got out of the car and decided to take action.
The giant Anaconda is trying to cross the road to reach the rainforest.
Without needing a sign, Fernandes became a signal post for passing vehicles to be aware of the snake’s presence and avoid it. His noble action quickly spread to those around him, and more people began to appear to help the Anaconda cross the road safely.
Thanks to the collective effort of everyone, the Anaconda was finally able to cross the road safely.
Fernandes shared that not everyone has a fondness for reptiles like snakes and pythons. In fact, many of us may feel entertained watching these animals being mistreated. There have been many heartbreaking cases where animals attempted to cross roads while traffic was heavy. However, through this small act, Fernandes hopes to spread positive energy to others and raise their awareness.
