There are dwarf anacondas that stay under 8 feet if.
The green anaconda occurs in South America, in the Amazon and Orinoco rivers system, and as far south as Bolivia. Males are much smaller than females staying at about 9 or 10 feet in length while females can reach 16 feet. The reticulated python is, on average, usually longer than the average anaconda, but because the green anaconda is much heavier than the other large constrictors, if you consider both length and weight, it is the largest snake in the world. The body is dark green (hence the name green anaconda) with large black dorsal spots and small lateral spots with lighter yellow centres.Īdults can grow to more than 9 m (29.5 ft.) in length. Adults of 5.5 to 6 m (18 to 20 feet) are average, but they are always heavier than a python of the same length. Anaconda can move quickly in the water and wrapped around animals both large and sma. As inhabitants of the swamps in the Amazon rainforest where they are waiting for unsuspecting prey. Such measurements make it the most massive of the giant snakes, but these extremes are field reports that lack verification. Answer (1 of 16): Anaconda is the longest snake in the world, can live up to 30 years and can grow up to 250 kg. The average size of one of these snake-giants is 6.1 m. Weights of about 200 kg (441 lb.) to 500 kg (1,100 lb.) and a length of up to 11 m (36 ft.) are sometimes given for this species. Anacondas eat amphibious animals, like frogs & toads, as well as fish, caiman, birds, ducks and turtles. Anacondas will eat almost anything they can find: fish, birds, mammals and other reptiles. They are semi-aquatic creatures but spend most of their time in water for easier movement. When the word anaconda is used, people more likely refer to the Green anaconda. More typical mature specimens reportedly can range up 5 meters (16.4 feet), with the females, at around a mean length of 4.6 meters (15.1 feet), being generally much larger in adulthood than the male, which averages around 3 m (9.8 ft). There are four known species of anaconda the green anaconda, Yellow/Paraguayan anaconda, dark-spotted anaconda, and the Beni/Bolivian anaconda. They are constrictors: they suffocate their prey by coiling around it and squeezing. A member of the boa family, the green anaconda can reach 5.21 meters (17.1 feet) long. Anacondas are related to boa constrictors and pythons.
