The huge serpent, capable of eating a man, has been tied down to a crane and a chain is wrapped around it.
Weighing an estimated 400kg, the snake's length is truly awesome and can be seen in full as the camera operator tracks from head to tail.
.
It was said to have been found by workers building the Belo Monte dam in Altamira, Brazil, and was flushed out by an explosion.
A shot of its massive, broad head shows its mouth agape and eyes glazed over.
But the images provoked a storm of criticism on YouTube from commenters who said the snake should not have been killed.
One commenter said: "Shame on these people for killing it! A snake that big has probably been alive for a very long time now, just to be killed for a few pictures? What a waste."
Another added: "Why would you kill such a beautiful snake?"
