After the initial amusement subsided, the online public returned to the content of the news itself.
Snakes are indeed creatures that people both fear and are curious about.
Originally, people had no clear concept of the length of tropical rainforest anacondas, but as popular science influencers began to write articles one after another, the public came to understand that the largest living anacondas today are only about five or six meters. Even though they might look like they are seven or eight meters, actual measurements show that they do not reach that length, not to mention the absurd claims of ten-plus meters made by marketing accounts with their eyes closed.
The news that topped today's trending search list reported the discovery of a ten-plus meter giant anaconda by Feng Yi and other experts in the tropical rainforest.
