[40] [24] Juvenile anacondas feed on small birds and young caiman typically 40–70 grams in weight. As they develop, their diet becomes increasingly complex. Prey availability varies more in grasslands than in river basins. [34] In both habitats green anacondas have been found to feed on large prey, usually 14% to 50% of their own mass.
The reticulated python (Python reticulatus) of Southeast Asia is longer but more slender, and has been reported to measure as much as 10 m (33 ft) in length and to weigh up to 158 kg (348 lb). [ 53 ] [ 25 ]
[22] [23] The green anaconda is the most well-studied species of Eunectes in terms of their mating system, followed by the yellow anaconda ; unfortunately E. deschauenseei and E. beniensis are much less common, making the specific details of their mating systems less well understood. [22]
Scientists have discovered a previously undocumented species of giant anaconda in the Amazon which they say can grow up to 7.5m and weighing close to 500kg, making it the largest and heaviest ...
A giant anaconda species captured recently in the Amazon of Ecuador by a team of scientists is the largest to ever be documented, USA TODAY previously reported, and now, there are images showing ...
A video shared online shows the scale of these 20-foot-long (6.1-meter-long) reptiles as one of the researchers, Dutch biologist Freek Vonk, swims alongside a giant 200-kilo (441-pound) specimen.
The northern green anaconda (Eunectes akayima) is a disputed boa species found in northern South America and the Caribbean island of Trinidad. It is closely related to Eunectes murinus , the (southern) green anaconda, from which it was claimed to be genetically distinct in 2024.
Using this method, initial size estimates proposed a total body length of approximately 12.82 m (42.1 ft) (± 2.18 m (7 ft 2 in)). Weight was determined by comparing Titanoboa to the extant green anaconda and the southern rock python, resulting in a weight between 652 and 1,819 kg (1,437 and 4,010 lb) (mean estimate 1,135 kg (2,502 lb)).
