Green Anaconda
Green Anaconda
Growing over 30 feet (9 meters)
long and weighing over 500 pounds (227 kilograms), the green anaconda is the world’s largest
snake and it lurks in the Amazon River, lying in wait for prey. Because of its
size, the green anaconda is awkward on land, but in the water it can move
stealthily and quickly, striking at anything it knows it can overpower — jaguars,caimans, wild pigs, deer and even humans, especially children.
It coils its body around its prey and drags it into the water, suffocating it
within minutes, and then swallows it whole with its large jaws. The good thing
about green anacondas? They do not eat often, with a big meal able to last them
months, so if they’re not hungry, you’re safe. If they are… you better run.
