As I held my breath underwater, the 200-pound anaconda slid leisurely beneath me -- inches from my face. The endless, scaled form with a head the size of an anvil is a creature from nightmares (including my own) and native myths. Legend has it these Amazonian giants drag off off children and pets in the night.
I was forced into the water by Lawrence Wahba, a swashbuckling Brazilian filmmaker, who spent months tracking the world's biggest snakes for National Geographic's "Secret Brazil." He followed anacondas through the murky waters, capturing a glimpse into the untamed world of Brazil's savannahs.
