It lurks just inches below the surface coiled and ready to strike and yet you wouldn't know it was there.<br />

They were <b>captured by the brave diver and snake enthusiast Franco Banfi</b>, 53, who joined the beasts in their natural habitat armed only with a camera.<br />

In another shot, Banfi gets up close to <span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>a huge anaconda that is lying on the riverbank and glistening in the ferocious tropical heat.</b></span><br />
<br />
Banfi, a father-of-two from Switzerland, said that As the snake had just eaten it didn't take much interest in us.<br />
<br />
'Everything is possible but I don't think it would have eaten us. I was very close, I could have touched it if I wanted to.'<br />

<i><b>He saw six different female anaconda snakes on his ten-day trip to the Mato Grosso do Sul region, right in the heart of South America.</b></i></blockquote>
The region is known for its diverse natural beauty and attracts thousands of visitors every year.<br />
The name literally means 'Thick Forest of the South' and it's easy to see why.<br />
<br />
Banfi added: 'At the first moment it's scary because you don't know the animal and everybody says it's dangerous.<br />
<br />
'But after a while you understand that nothing happens if you respect the snake.<br />
<br />
'I have never been so close to a snake like this before. But I think a small poisonous snake is more scary than a big one. At least you can see the anacondas clearly and know what they're doing.'<br />
