Discovery Channel has prepared another extreme stunt as its next offering. The network has announced new special "Eaten Alive", in which American wildlife expert and filmmaker Paul Rosolie is getting eaten alive by an anaconda while wearing a custom-built snake-proof suit.

The special has been filmed and will air Sunday, December 7. Rosolie reportedly covered himself in pig's blood to lure the snake. According to Entertainment Weekly, the "snake-proof suit" has a cord on the top of it presumably to pull Rosolie back out the snake's mouth after being "eaten."

The show has been criticized by animal welfare organisations which branded the stunt as "animal cruelty." Rosolie responded to the criticism with a tweet which read, "If u know me - I would never hurt a living thing. But you'll have to watch #EatenAlive to find out how it goes down!"
