[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]
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.
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]
Burmese pythons weigh about 200 pounds each, so that's roughly 10 massive snakes. In the video above, one of the bounty hunters wrestles a massive snake into the box — it's the largest python ...
Eunectes beniensis is a species of boa, reaching between 3.3–4.4 meters (11–14 ft) in length and can weigh up to 35 kilograms (77 lb). [citation needed] It was initially believed to be the result of hybridization between the green (Eunectes murinus) and yellow anaconda (Eunectes notaeus), but was later determined to be a distinct species.
