The Green Anaconda is one of the largest snakes in the world, known for its impressive size and strength. Native to the swamps and rivers of the Amazon Basin in South America, it can grow up to 30 feet long and weigh over 500 pounds. This non-venomous snake primarily hunts aquatic animals, including fish, birds, and mammals. Green Anacondas are excellent swimmers, using their muscular bodies to navigate through water. They are often found in slow-moving waters, where they can remain hidden among vegetation. Their coloration, which includes dark green and brown patterns, helps them blend into their surroundings, making them effective ambush predators.
