Professional diver and videographer Bartolomeo Bove, who recently filmed an amazing encounter with a massive anaconda in Brazil, has released more footage of his incredible underwater sightings.

While diving in the Brazilian Cerrado, the most biodiverse savannah in the world, and the Pantanal, the world's largest tropical wetland, in late July and August, he recorded more face-to-face meetings with snakes, otters, piranha and other creatures.

Bartolomeo Bove is a professional shark diver and underwater videographer. This footage that I filmed shows my encounters with the wild creatures of Brazil that dwell in the rivers and swamp of the Cerrado (the Brazilian savannah, the most biodiverse savannah in the world) and Pantanal (the world's largest tropical wetland).
The footage starts with the boat I was in slowly cruising the Formoso River, near Bonito, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul in which we found and filmed a giant 7 meters female anaconda (min 00.11- 01.05; 02.52- 03.00; 03.13- 03.31). Then the action moves to the Rio Mimoso, in the Bonito area as well where I had the opportunity to film a playful otter (min. 01.06- 02.31). Then there is a school of piraputangas (min.02.31- 02.36), a fish very common in that area, in the crystal clear waters of Rio Olho d'Água, a cascudo fish (min 02.37- 02.52) in Rio da Prata. Then the action moves to the Pantanal, near Corumbá, Mato Grosso do Sul, where I filmed giant river otters (03.01- 03.08). The last segment of the footage shows piranha feeding frenzy on a pintado fish that I filmed further out in the swamp where the water was more clear in a place called Touro Morto.
Filmed on end of July/beginning of August 2019.
