When you work on a construction site in a rainforest such as the Amazon, you get accustomed to seeing all sorts of strange animals that you start to be less frightened after a while. But nothing could have prepared these experienced construction workers for what they discovered one fateful day.

It would have been like any other typical day if a gigantic anaconda had not slithered into the middle of the construction site. However, that was only the beginning of the surprises because these workers were about to have the shock of their lives.

Just Doing Their Jobs

A lot goes into constructing a new road, especially in a place as dense as the Amazon. It’s also bad news for climate activists because many trees get cut down to make space for the new roads. As a matter of fact, reports claim that the high rate of road projects will lead to massive land deforestation over time.

As far as the construction workers were concerned, though, that wasn’t any of their business. They were simply following orders to do their job. They were also trying to make ends meet for their family because the local community’s economy wasn’t thriving.
