  Jesus Rivas, a Columbus, Ohio-based documentary filmmaker, used Frankie as a vehicle for a film aiming to show that so-called dangerous dogs aren't always dangerous.
  
  Rivas, who has worked with National Geographic, hopes to shop the unfinished film both to his old employer and places like the Animal Planet network."One thing I tried to push in the film is not only that dogs are not that dangerous," he said, "but also that we need to realize they don't know how to speak our language.

  Jesus Rivas, the Venezuelan biologist I recruited for the team, was confident that we would find new species of flora and fauna on the tepui walls. He prepared a detailed scientific proposal, but the ministry was unwilling to make a commitment one way or the other.

  By headlamp, I stagger through the bush, poking my head into every nook and cranny I can find (Jesus later told me this is a great way to get bit by a Fer de Lance, a deadly poisonous snake, endemic to the area).
  ...
  We rig some ropes into a particularly promising area and Jesus attacks the vegetated ledges like a wolf in a chicken coop. Just as I have dreamed of climbing this wall for years, Jesus, a well respected biologist, has long dreamed of studying this unique environment. Soon he has a ziploc baggie filled with critters: scorpions, tarantulas, beetles, roaches and worms. Jesus hands me the bag and I give it a quick shake, hoping to start a battle royale.

  According to Jesus Rivas, "The green anaconda is the largest snake in the world.Although famous, very little is known about its life history.
