Anaconda snake 

This snake is the heaviest (of living species) in the world. Their weight can be up to 200 kilograms. Adult snakes usually weigh more than 100 kg. They are usually 4–6 m (13–20 ft) tall.

Where does the anaconda snake live?

Anaconda's habitat is almost the entire mainland - South America, except for its southern part. Of course, the climate of all latitudes is not suitable for the habitat of a snake, since the mainland has a very long stretch from north to south. To the east of the Anaconda, the Anaconda is home to countries such as Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, Venezuela, Ecuador, Colombia, Guyana, and French Guiana. The island of Trinidad can be distinguished separately.

How many types of anacondas?

According to other sources, there are still four types of anaconda, each slightly different in size, color, and habitat.

Giant Anaconda;

Paraguayan

Deschavarskaya;

Anaconda Eunectes beniensis.

Anacondas have a small head, like a bonus, but the body is slightly larger, which also seems out of place. As mentioned in some sources, the snake's length can reach 5 - 6 meters, but not 9 - 11 or 20. The maximum weight is supposed to be 130 kg, in most cases, it is far from a hundred.

These snakes are considered potentially dangerous to humans, as they are capable of swallowing prey almost equal in weight to themselves. If the snake weighs less than one hundred, it will not have any difficulty in swallowing and digesting a person. But still, he is big and smart for a snake, and all known cases of attacks on people indicate that they happened by mistake.

Anaconda snake colors and their food list

Anaconda's main color is gray-green with large dark brown spots of a circular or oblong shape, alternating in a checkerboard pattern. A row of small light spots surrounded by black stripes on both sides of the body. This color hides the anaconda perfectly when it is hidden, lying in a calm backwater, where brown leaves and pieces of algae swim in the gray-green water. Anaconda's favorite habitats are low-flowing tributaries and backwaters, oxbow lakes and lakes, and swampy lowlands in the Amazon and Orinoco river basins. In such secluded corners, the anaconda, lying in the water, protects the prey of various mammals that come to the water area (agouti, peccary), waterfowl, sometimes turtles, and young caimans. Domesticated pigs, dogs, chickens, and ducks also fall prey to anacondas when they come near water. Anacondas often crawl on the shore and sunbathe, but do not move away from the water. He is an excellent swimmer and diver and can stay underwater for long periods when his nostrils are closed with special valves.
