They don't but this was in the 40's back when their wasn't really a concept of conservation so he shot it and measured it. Then it escaped somehow so it could have still lived but he thought he escaped and died but like i said they didn't find the body.

6-8 I have alot of fun with that age group. You can have a conversation with them but yet they still respect older people even though most of the 8th graders are bigger then me.

Alot of the newer teacher have learned different teaching styles then the older teachers but sometimes you learn alot from the older styles even though it may seem boring and not as fun.

i'm sorry sharkboy.. but that statement is wrong in so many ways.. do realize that anybody can make a site and say anything they want??, like.. do you know of "wikipedia"?, the dictionary/encyclopedia/ every thing you need to know website?.. well it turns out that anybody at all can change whats written on the site.. meaning that the info is often completely wrong in every way. You can NEVER trust the internet.. EVER.., thats why when you go to highschool (at least in mine) we need to actually get books, and show the teacher just so they know we didn't get phony info off the internet.
and what i am saying "outdated".. as in really old and there have been new info.. it doesn't matter.. if in 1850 they caught a 40 foot anaconda.. you can't change that.. you can't say it's length is outdated.. it was measured at 40 feet back then.. its length does not change. so if i go find an old book that has a recorded anaconda.. it is technically still the biggest snake in the world.

its not that you should never trust the internet you should just have caution and make sure you know were your information is coming from. .org, .edu. gov are usually trustworthy sites. .com sites can be fine to if you can see who wrote the information. If its some john doe then yes you probably shouldn't trust the site. However if you go to a site that refernces book and those books are real or the guy that is posting has some that you can prove that would comfirm that he has knowlegde of the subject. However like i said you want to be able to comfirm these things before you use them not just go to the first site and say thats good enough. You must do research.

evrytime i turn around theres a new post here. unless that 40ft anny was confirmed (i would love it to be) i still have to say the retic is longer. u also have to keep in mind that alot of explorers saw long snakes and reported them to be 100ft in length

man that had to hurt, i think (not sure) that large constrictors exert (sp?) the most amount of pressure an organism can
