Details for Anaconda

• Anaconda

  Anacondas are a group of large, non-venomous boas native to tropical South America, renowned for being among the largest and heaviest snakes in the world. The Green Anaconda (Eunectes murinus) is the largest species, often exceeding 6 meters (20 feet) in length and weighing over 250 kg (550 lbs). Anacondas are semi-aquatic, spending most of their time in slow-moving rivers, swamps, and marshes. They are constrictors, ambushing prey like fish, birds, and mammals, then coiling around them to suffocate them. Their massive size and camouflage make them formidable predators in their wetland habitats.

  

  Habitat: The Anaconda lives in Brazil, Peru, Venezuela, Colombia, Bolivia, Ecuador, Guyana, Suriname, Trinidad-and-tobago.
