Green Anaconda
The green anaconda weighs up to a significant 550 pounds in weight is one of the largest species of snake in the world. The average length of the snake can range around 4.6m to 3m but in most parts of the world the female anaconda is most definitely always bigger than the male anaconda in weight and length.
The green anaconda is a dark olive brown colour with scaly hot skin covering their whole body. They have black spots down the side of their back and smaller oval spots with yellow centers along their sides. Their eyes and noses are perched on top of their large heads, allowing them to breathe and see their prey in water.
Green anacondas are usually found in warm hot forests. The anaconda can be found in tropical south america. They live in sluggish streams, rivers and swamps and marshes across the world. In the daytime they usually lay on rocks to keep themself cool. When an anaconda hunts for its prey it has to be very strategic in not letting the prey see them and not let it out of its grip around the animal.
The anaconda does not rely on its bite to kill its prey but its huge body to wrap around its prey and suffocate it to death by squeezing its throat and stomach.
Snakes are very fascinating creatures and have a lot of interesting facts about them.
