Unlike his cousin the Green Anaconda, which can reach over 27 feet (8.1 meters) in length, and have a girth of 44 inches (111.7 cm), the Yellow Anaconda averages 10 - 12 feet (3.3 - 3.6 meters) in length. The habitat of these animals are swamps, marshes, brush covered banks of rivers and streams. Their diet consists of fish, mammals such as agouti and paca, birds, reptiles (mainly young caimans). Known for their disposition, anacondas are not seen in captivity as much as other snakes. They can give a serious bite. The green anaconda has been known to occasionally have killed humans. It is an advantage for these snakes to have nasty temperament, so they are not found in the pet trade very often.

31. The Anaconda Snake
    Learn all about the anaconda snake! Like most snakes the upper and lower jaw of the anaconda are loosely attached so they can swallow their prey whole.

    Extractions: The anaconda snake bodyOffer(3736) Anacondas are olive green with large, round black spots along the length of their body. It has two light longitudinal stripes on its head and is variable in color, as well as size. Anacondas live throughout tropical South American, east of the Andes in the Amazon and Orinoco basins and in the Guianas. It can also be found in the north in Trinidad. The anaconda is the most aquatic of the boas. It is hardly ever found far from water, with sluggish or still waters being their preference. In most cases swamps are the anacondas favorite haunt. These snakes have fixed hunting grounds and they generally live alone although they have, from time to time, been seen in groups. Anacondas are nocturnal, resting during the day in shallow water or sunbathing on low branches over water. On land theses creatures are sluggish but in water they can swim rapidly. It is not uncommon to see an anaconda floating motionless in water while they allow the current to carry them down stream. Although few observations of the breeding cycle of the anaconda have been made, studies in captivity show that the males are aroused by the scent of the females. When courting the male will move along side the female while flicking his tongue over her until his head is resting over her neck until mating is complete. Since anacondas are viviparous it is not unusual for 20 to 100 young to be born in the early part of each year. Baby anacondas are 2 to 3 feet long. It is no surprise that such a large and malevolent looking creature has been the subject of folklore and fallacy. Although little evidence has been found to support many of the anaconda’s feats, it remains branded today as a snake with man-eating habits.

32. The UnMuseum - Big Snakes
    Like all snakes, the anaconda is carnivorous. Do large snakes like the python and the anaconda eat people? Occasionally such attacks are recorded in the wild.  
    http://www.unmuseum.org/bigsnake.htm
    
    Extractions: Big Snakes The largest-known snake in the world is the Anaconda, or Eunectes murinus , of South America. It holds the world's record for size with one specimen, encountered by petroleum geologist in eastern Columbia in the 1944, measuring 37 1/2 feet in length. Somewhere deep in the southern swamps do they grow bigger? According to Colonel Percy H. Fawcett , a former British Army officer, surveyor and adventurer in the early 1900's, they do: We were drifting easily along on the sluggish current not far below the confluence of tigor and the Rio Negro when almost under the bow there appeared a triangular head and several feet of undulating body. It was a giant anaconda. I sprang for my rifle as the creature began to make its way up the bank, and hardly waiting to aim smashed a .44 soft-nosed bullet into its spine, ten feet below the wicked head. At once there was a flurry of foam, and several heavy thumps against the boat's keel, shaking us as though we had run on a snag... Fawcett describes how they stopped and examined the body. Though he had no ruler, he guessed the length of the creature at sixty-two feet with a twelve-inch diameter. "Such large specimens as this may not be common, but the trails in the swamps reach a width of six feet and support the statements of Indians and rubber pickers that the anaconda sometimes reaches an incredible size dwarfing that shot by me. The Brazilian Boundary Commission told me of one exceeding eighty feet in length!"

    anaconda Snake Found in the tropical rain forests of the Amazon, the anaconda snake (Eunectes murinusis) one of the largest snakes in the world.

    Extractions: Related to the extinct dinosaurs of the Mesozoic era 200 million years ago, the black caiman (Melanosuchus niger) is a top predator in the Amazon. The back caiman resembles the alligator and can grow as long as 20 feet (6 m) in length. This reptile often hunts animals drinking water along a cocha's shoreline. Once an animal is targeted, the black caiman will typically grab the prey by its head or legs and proceed to drown it by pulling the unfortunate creature into the water. The caiman's diet includes fish, capybaras, deer, and other mammals in the Amazon region. Male and female caimans mate in water. A female then lays as many as 60 eggs in a nest mound located on the shoreline. With the help of their mother, baby caimans hatch in three months and start feeding on insects. As they grow larger, the young gradually begin feeding on fish and later mammals. The black caiman was nearly hunted to extinction for its skin. In fact in the last century, hunting has reduced the caimen population by 99%. This creature is now found only in remote regions of the Amazon, such as in the Manu River. Other variations of caiman that live in Manu include the smaller white caiman (Caiman crocodilus) and the rare Schneider's dwarf caiman (Paleosuchus trigonatus).

    The anaconda is the biggest snake in the world. Anatomy Like all snakes, anacondas are coldblooded; they are the same temperature as the environment.  
    http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/reptiles/snakes/Anacondacoloring.shtml
    
    Extractions: The anaconda is the biggest snake in the world. Also known as the Water Boa, this giant, meat-eater lives in swampy areas of tropical (warm) South America. It spends a lot of time in shallow water, hidden from unsuspecting prey. Anacondas are related to boa constrictors. They give birth to live young; 20 to 40 baby snakes are born at one time. Anatomy : Like all snakes, anacondas are cold-blooded; they are the same temperature as the environment. They continue to grow all their lives, getting bigger and bigger each year. The longest anaconda ever found was 37.5 feet (11.4 m) long, there are probably even bigger anacondas that have not been seen. Anacondas are greenish-brown with a double row of black oval spots on the back and smaller white markings on the sides. Their scaly skin glistens but is dry is to the touch. The nostrils are on top of the snout, letting the snake breathe easily when it is in the water. It smells with its tongue. It has no fangs. Hunting and Diet : Anacondas are carnivores (meat-eaters). They mostly hunt at night (they are nocturnal). Anacondas kill by constricting (squeezing) the prey until it can no longer breathe. Sometimes they drown the prey. Like all snakes, they swallow the prey whole, head first. The anaconda's top and bottom jaws are attached to each other with stretchy ligaments, which let the snake swallow animals wider than itself. Snakes don't chew their food, they digest it with very strong acids in the snake's stomach. Anacondas eat pigs

    Extractions: Snakes are a large group of reptiles; there are over 2,000 different species of snakes alive today. Snakes live in a variety of land and water habitats. The most snakes and the largest snakes are found in tropical rainforests . Snakes are found on every continent except Antarctica . There are no snakes native to Hawaii, Iceland, Ireland, or New Zealand. Anatomy : Snakes have a long, narrow body and scaly skin. They have no eyelids, no external ear openings, and no legs (although a few snakes, like boas and pythons, have vestigial hind legs). As they grow, snakes shed their old skin and the film that covers their eyes. Like other reptiles, snakes are cold-blooded. Diet : Snakes are carnivores (meat-eaters). They eat

    Extractions: Anaconda The movie version of this largest of all snakes is awesome and terrifying! Viewers will attest that this frightening screen action confirms their worst nightmares about killer snakes. On this web site, we would like to share some direct information about the real snake. Still quite impressive as predators go and quite potentially capable of taking a full grown adult homosapiens for breakfast! The Anaconda is in the boa family and the largest is the Eunectes murin us. Like most snakes it has suffered greatly from much exaggeration and scary folklore. It seems that the longest specimen on record is a 9+ meter snake at a little over 37 feet in strong squeezing length. Travelers' diaries and notes often refer to 40 foot individuals and references to foot monsters have actually been made, but likely never confirmed. The name seems to be derived from the South American Indian word combinations referencing

About this snake: Anaconda The mating period for anacondas usually lasts from April to May. The anaconda, like all snakes, reproduces sexually and has internal fertilization. The female is usually inactive during mating season and does not move around, but waits for the males to seek her out. Although this does not seem necessary for breeding to take place, there are usually 2 to 12 males curled around one female. This is known as a breeding ball. Once in this position the snakes will stay for up to 2 to 4 weeks with the males wrestling for the privilege of mating with the female. The young are born live, usually in litters of 20 to 40, however it is possible for the litter to be as large as 100. The babies are about 2 feet long and will often refuse food for the first several months after birth. To find more images on PHOTOVAULT.com please use our search engine:
