Catching one of the world's largest snakes

Gordon joins Waorani men catching a huge green anaconda In Yasuni National Park, Ecuador. This area could be home to the world's largest Anaconda because the Waorani do not kill these snakes. For the men of this tribe, capturing and releasing large anacondas unharmed is a demonstration of their bravery which they believe provides them with spiritual power. 

These Waorani are also working with a scientist to collect biological samples which may determine whether oil exploration and extraction upstream is polluting their water supply and the animals and fish these unique people rely on for their survival.
