Anaconda

Anacondas are very big snakess. They like to live in tropical places like south america. Here is a very interesting fact these snakes are not venimous. The biggest onee was found in Asia it was 30 feet long  but the sad thingg was that they put it to sleep. They are very good at bleending in with there surronds thats why the are such a good hunter also itt chouckss you to death.

Although their color varies, black patches on the anaconda's back are consistent (the green anaconda is the largest).  These serve as camouflage in its wet vegetation of its swampy habitat.  The full length of an anaconda snake is thought to be up to 110 ft.  Like the crocodile, the anaconda's nostrils are on top of its snout so it can breathe easily while swimming. Anaconda attacks are stealthy.  They hunt at waters edge waiting for its prey to drink.  In one strike they pull their prey underwater and drown them.  Their diet is mainly composed of fish and reptiles, but they also pursue birds, small mammals-deer, piccaries, and rodents on land.  Anaconda snakes have a special jaw attachment that allows it to swallow large animals (up to 6’). A meal of this size will take several weeks to digest.   Scientists believe that female anaconda require additional food intake to survive the long gestation period (6 months);  Females have been known to practice cannibalism on their smaller male counterparts if they do not find an exceptionally large meal.
