Possible sighting of a giant snake in Borneo, Indonesia

An aerial photograph that appears to show a gigantic snake swimming along the remote waterway has emerged, sparking great concern among local communities.

Damn, that's a big snake if it's real. I bet Bigfoot would ride it into battle!

Also, this has nothing to do with me changing my avatar. Weird coincidence.

I'm going on record and voting - fake.

We need stuff like that and 20' crocodiles, an sech.
If only to help us remember our place in the grand scheme of things.

What does it really mean?

Kay, looking at this on my work monitor, I was thinking it was a boat zig-zagging down the river...but now that I've seen it on my really nice home monitor, it's just a really bad photoshop job. And the second pic on the website is even worse. It looks like the "snake" is floating above the water.

There was a rather large Burmese Python that DNR found in the Everglades (one of those dumped pets me thinks, gods I hate human beings ) anyway, this snake seems to have been one of the biggest on record, can't remember what the size was. It was found dead, seemingly engorged by a meal of American alligator, (gator is quite tasty, like eating a tough chicken). But even though this snake may be fake, i think it would be cool to reinstill the primal fear of giant snake is going to eat me mentality.

That picture looks really photoshopped.

And how come they always only take one picture of these spotted once in a lifetime legendary creatures, usually far away and out of focus?

I'm more afraid of Humboldt Squids than the giants. They have teeth on their suckers and will attack pretty much anything.

Edit: In case you were having trouble visualizing that

Not to despair. It's a hollywood prop that got left behind.

POLLUTERS!

I understand your apprehension.
