This female green anaconda was photographed at a small reptile conservation park run by a Peruvian biologist here in Puerto Maldonado, Peru. Despite not being wild, this snake is impossibly strong and could easily hurt or kill someone. But as you can see, she has no interest in that, and neither do wild anacondas. In fact, the only wild anaconda we've seen thus far promptly slithered away as fast as lighting when she saw us approaching - and she was about 15 feet! Like all of us, snakes simply want to be left alone. As you can see in this picture she is peacefully resting her head in the palm of @paulrosolie 's hand. She stayed like this for several minutes and only moved when Paul was no longer able to support her weight. She was about 10-11 feet in length and 80-100 pounds. Yet another feared snake that is quite the opposite of dangerous.
To continue following my expedition to photograph wild green anacondas, the world's largest snake, I'm @tbfrost

Guillermo Parilla, a jimador (professional agave harvester) in Jalisco, Mexico cuts the long sharp leaves off of the piña, the heart of a mature blue agave plant using a special knife/shovel tool called a ‘coa'. These piña are then trucked to the Tequila Ocho distillery nearby where they are baked in giant ovens, smashed, soaked, fermented and distilled the old fashioned way to create high end tequila. I recently travelled to Jalisco, Mexico to photograph the production of tequila for a new @natgeo and @wsj magazine called Far & Away. The inaugural issue of the mag was released last weekend within the Wall Street Journal. ‘Tequila Rocks’ was a journey through the blue agave fields East of Guadalajara, to the rowdy bars and many distilleries of Tequila town.

By Chris Delmas/AFP/Getty Images. te previous reports indicating that Disney was preparing to let John Lasseter go for good, Walt Disney executives are apparently considering bringing the disgraced Pixar chief back into the fold at the company. The chief creative officer went on a six-month sabbatical starting last November after being accused of sexual misconduct and unwanted physical contact. Now that his six-month leave is coming to a close, The Wall Street Journal reports that execs have discussed bringing Lasseter back to Disney in a new position—one that slows his managerial control but allows him to “retain creative influence.” The final day of Lasseter’s sabbatical is May 21, which is rapidly approaching. Per the W.S.J., employees have adjusted to day-to-day life without their old boss, though his absence has been noted. Prior to leaving the company, Lass
