So how far are you coming from?

I come from south.

Okay, all the way south?

Yeah. Coming and going to?

Heading north.

Heading north? Okay. Okay.

Yeah, we are rounding up these horses.

Oh yeah?

Yeah, my horses had strayed from this wapan Roundup. The one I'm riding has a name: Buckshot. All these horses belong to the community where these guys are from. Now, normally, these horses are running wild, so they had to round them up. The horses are being taken to a ranch a few days' ride from here to sit out the worst of the rainy season. As a thank you for finding their horses, the Cowboys invite me for food.

I join a rider called Chado to help him set up camp.

"Who? What is that? Anaconda right there!"

"These definitely freak out horses. This monster snake is right on the trail. We got to get it safely out of the way."

"That's a big snake! Here, you can see those just rows and rows of really sharp teeth."

"Those are jaws that mean business. This snake stays hidden in murky water like this. You can see how that camouflage works. Once it submerges itself just a little bit below the water, it just simply disappears."

"When they're active, like this one, it usually means they're looking for prey. It's waiting for anything that can fit into the jaws of this snake, that's fair game."

"And these snakes can easily eat an animal the size of a pig wandering through these waters getting a drink of water, and boom! It would constrict that prey to death so it couldn't breathe, stops the blood flow of that animal. The animal eventually passes out, and then the animal is safe to eat. It'll find its head and then eat whatever it caught head first."
