nice video, but do a little reaserch before you try your hand at this again, there are no mambas in Bolivia, or South America for that matter, there is no such thing as an american cobra, and there are no fresh water crocs or crocs period in bolivia, what you do have there are called caiman, maybe you were just kidding around

@VictoriousVicV10 I think I would agree with you to an extent. The locals call their wildlife something different than a expert may. For instance, jaguars in many areas of South America are called Tigres, and one may think there are tigers in South America, which is not true. Mambas are an African species but there is a local variety in SA named "mamba", wrongly named no doubt. There is, however, such thing as an American crocodile here. also found in the US. Thanks for the comments. - John

we can see that Bolivia has an immense ecological environment: amazon jungle, andes high mountains, inter-andean fertile valleys and indigenous monuments. BOLIVIA RULES!!!!

oh 1 added comment. If there was 100 dolphins and 1 croc i still would have not went in that water. you guys are crazy!

[DMCreptiles]

oh how lucky you were, from the look of the 5th head stripe and the patternings. the snake you encountered was not a green anaconda, nor the yellow, but in fact the bolivian anaconda that was discovered in 2001. very, very nice.

[QuestVM2010]

@Cvillemac true, though they are Caiman, more similar to the alligator than the crocodile.

[VictoriousVicV10]

@Cvillemac true, they do call all snakes cobras in Brazil, I thought maybe thats what you meant untill you said mamba, either way good video

[Cvillemac]

@wutterputter, maybe a little...
