MARK O'SHEA, herpetologist and TV Star, returns to West Midland Safari Park to co-ordinate the move of two of the largest and heaviest snakes in the Country in the seventh episode of the second series of SAFARI PARK' on ITV1 Central at 6.00pm on Sunday, 24th June 2007.

When two giant snakes needed to move home, it called for expert advice and knowledge. To move a fully-grown GREEN ANACONDA is not an easy task. This species can grow so huge because it lives in water that supports its immense weight. Mark has previously caught 40 in the wild - the largest being a stunning 6 metres and 73 kg - and therefore today's mission to move two of these mighty snakes to their new home, is not without its difficulties. Apart from the staggering 52 kg weight of the first animal, the move goes well. However, see dramatic footage of what happens next when the second, 48kg, Anaconda is moved.

This is all in a days work for Mark, who is already preparing to leave for Namibia and in next weeks action packed episode of "SAFARI PARK" see just what Mark encounters - and it is not for the faint hearted!!
