No, these are myths. The discovery of this species of anaconda was made during an expedition led by Professor Bryan Fry of the University of Queensland, which also included representatives of the Waorani tribe, known for stories of giant anacondas living in their area.
The expedition lasted 10 days, during which scientists searched the jungle and rivers, finding anacondas in shallow waters. The discovery is considered one of the most important in the career of the researchers and Professor Fry. In the course of their research, the scientists reportedly measured one female to be 6.3 meters long and not 8 meters.

Although it is rare, a pair of Bengal tigers can even take on an Indian rhinoceros. So I don’t think it would be much of a problem for them to effectively bite a large snake. It doesn’t have to cover the whole neck with its snout. Just inflict a wound and hold the snake with the claws, which are also effective weapons.

On the second thought wouldnt the the neck of anaconda this size too wide for the Tiger to efectivly bite and pierce vital organs? Or am i wrong? I mean would the Tiger be able to open its mouth wide enought to bite

The tiger-python fight is one of the most memorable scenes in Frank Buck’s 1932 jungle adventure documentary, “Bring ‘Em Back Alive”. The film was shot in Malaya and features various scenes of animal life and interactions.
In the fight scene, a Bengal tiger and a big python engage in a fierce battle. The python coils itself around the tiger, causing the tiger to pant for breath. However, with a supreme effort, the tiger manages to free itself.

The filming of this spectacular battle has raised many questions among viewers, such as how the scene was filmed, whether it was staged, and how the cameramen managed to capture the action without endangering their lives. The film’s director, Clyde E. Elliott, kept the camera in the background, resulting in a clear conception of the clashes between the animals.

Despite the questions and controversies surrounding the film, it was a huge hit and is considered one of the most successful and popular films of both Elliott and Buck.

The footage you’re referring to is likely from the film “Bring ‘Em Back Alive” by Frank Buck. This film, released in 1932, was a jungle adventure documentary filmed in Malaya. It included a scene where a tiger and a python engage in a fierce battle. The tiger is seen panting for breath as the python coils around it, but in the end, the tiger manages to free itself.

As for the claims about the tiger being declawed, defanged, and young, I couldn’t find any specific information to confirm or refute these claims.

The authenticity of the animal fight sequences in Frank Buck’s films has been questioned. However, the film’s authenticity was defended by Terry Ramsaye, editor of Motion Picture Herald, who claimed that the animal action was all shot “in a compound adjacent to the city of Singapore, in the Straits Settlements” and that the scenes staged and recorded in the compound may be accepted as “dramatically reasonable reconstructions of what actually happens in the open jungle”.

Actually I have second question. There is an old footage of I think franks bucks movie Where a Tiger fights a big python the python rolls around the Tiger but the cat ends up freeing him self. I heard that the Tiger was declawed and defanged it that fight also that its a young Tiger. What do you think about that footage and do we have any proove for the claims about the Tiger?

I will believe the size of this anaconda when they put it to sleep, measure and weigh it. Without that, it’s just a picture, of which there have already been many.
