Last year I posted a link to an article about a father and son team who claimed to have captured an image of a giant anaconda in the Amazon. Today I received an email from them, announcing that they’ve discovered incredible evidence that they are in the right track. Greg and Mike Warner are now looking for financial support in funding another expedition into the Amazon jungle to try and gather more evidence of this giant creature’s existence.

Will Elliott of Watford, Hertfordshire (UK) has contacted the father and son team to make them aware that he has uncovered something very interesting in their photo.

On the 3rd of June we received an email from Will Elliott of Watford, Hertfordshire (UK). Will has been doing some of his own research (photographic) on the now famous photos from our Warner Amazon Expedition last year. He, and others like him, are the reason we chose to publish our data extensively on our web site.

Will Elliott has found an eye on photo 317. Given that we already knew we had a photo of Yacumama (Black boa/Minhocão) it doesn’t surprise us but it might change the opinions of a few sceptics still out there.

The eye, its shape, size and position on the head beneath the postocular ridge are all in proportion and in keeping with the contemporaneous data we have compiled e.g. ‘Eyes as big as saucers’ or ‘search lights’ (think Amazon boat).

We estimate the size of the eye to be between 8 & 10 inches in diameter on a head that is c. 6 feet wide above water.

Let’s be clear; we don’t know Will and have never communicated before today.

Will’s correspondence to us and the description of his methods are at the bottom of this page with a commentaries from Professor Ian Montgomery & Professor Paul Le Blond.

Thanks for your work and support Will!

Here is Will Elliot’s artistic rendition of what he believes exists in the Warner’s photograph:

I’ve been reading up on the case since it first came out. To me, the “creature” in the image looks like a mud bank. I would suspect that an anaconda with that size of a head, would have a tremendously long and big body. Long enough to coil around and above the tree line. Sometimes expeditions are needed to either prove of disprove mediocre evidence. So I hope that this father and son team get the necessary funding. Stories of a giant anaconda have existed for centuries, so who knows for certain what exists out there.
