Death by Anaconda
Spurred by reports of a massive snake attacking people in Colombia's Amazon Basin region, wildlife expert Casey Anderson travels to Bogota to begin his investigation.

Casey meets a paleontologist from the team that discovered fossils of the Titanoboa, a 50-foot, 2,500-pound mega-snake that shares characteristics with today's anaconda. Scientists believe that somewhere in the Amazon could be the link between them -- a giant and aggressive snake the locals call Yacumama.
