[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.
[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]
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 ]
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.
Though the findings made by Fry's group are incredible, there are anecdotal reports from the Huaorani people of other anacondas in the area "measuring more than 7.5 meters long (24.6 feet) and ...
• The green anaconda is the largest (most massive) extant snake. The silhouette is scaled to 5.21 metres (17.1 ft) which was the longest measured and published in a study by Jesús Antonio Rivas that measured hundreds of anacondas. [2] There are reports of longer anacondas, but these reports have been questioned. [3] [4] [5]
