Green Anaconda or Eunectes Murinus is one of the longest and biggest snake in the world. The size of the longest and heaviest ever recorded is 521 cm with a weight of 97.5 kg. Anaconda color pattern consisting of coated olive green background with black spots along the body.
Her head is smaller than the body, usually with a pink line - typical yellow on both sides. His eyes are located on top of the head, which allows the snake to look out of the water while swimming without showing her body. Green anaconda is found in South America, in countries east of the Andes, including Colombia, Venezuela, Guianas, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Trinidad island from south to north Paraguay. Anaconda lives in swamps and rivers with slow water flow, especially in tropical rain forests in the Amazon and Orinoco basins.
Green Anaconda eat a variety of prey, almost anything as long as they can beat their prey, including fish, birds, various mammals, and reptiles. Large anaconda can eat large prey such as tapirs, deer, capybara and caiman, but the big meal is not consumed regularly. There are many local stories and legends about the man-eating anaconda, but only a little evidence to support it. They pursed his body to subdue prey. Cannibalism also occurs between the green anaconda, anaconda recorded many cases in which large females consuming a smaller male anaconda.
The scientists mentioned several possible reasons for this, including a dramatic sexual dimorphism in the species and the possibility that female anacondas require additional food intake after breeding to maintain the long gestation period and a male anaconda is one type of carnivore diet, but the exact reasons are not understood.
Anaconda tends to float on the water surface with the muzzle almost poking above the water surface. When prey passes or stop drinking, a hungry anaconda will capture with the jaws (without eating or swallowing) and then wrapped around the body. Anaconda will then pursed his body until the prey has been successfully strangled.
Anaconda mating season occurs during the rainy season and can last for several months, usually from April to May with a gestation period of about 6-7 months.
