The couple from Brazil, Italo Nascimento Fernandes and his wife, stopped their vehicle on a highway. What makes it even scarier is the fact that Fernandes got out of his car and started to control the oncoming traffic.

Other motorists and pedestrians joined Fernandes in controlling the traffic. Cars stopped and watched as the anaconda slowly took her time to cross the highway.
There were those that were too frightened to leave the car while others recorded the entire ordeal.
When asked why he had risked his life, Fernandes said that he felt obligated to do so given the number of people that would have been so willing to run over the snake and drive away.
"It was beautiful," he told The Dodo.
Fernandes believes that there's no need to harm these lovely creatures since they don't attack anyone unless they are provoked to do so.
Upon reaching the other side of the road, the anaconda crawled into the woods and out of sight.
A renowned Brazilian biologist by the name Flavio Terassini praised Fernandes for his heroic act when he spoke to G1 Globo. The highway is a danger spot for most anacondas that try to cross it. Many of them end up dead by the roadside.
