Anaconda


The Anaconda is a member of the boa family and the largest snake in the world. The longest Anaconda specimen on record is a 9+ meter snake which is over 37 feet of squeezing muscle. There are historical references to 140 foot monsters have actually been made, but never confirmed. The name comes from South American and Indian word combinations referencing elephant and killer. We have many pictures of green, yellow and giant anacondas as well as other types of snakes to assist you in identification of these animals.
