Green Anaconda

                Green Anaconda (Eunectes murinus, water boa) is a nonvenomous boa species found in South America. It is the heaviest known snake species. The green anaconda is one of the world's longest snakes, reaching more than 6.6 m (22 ft) long. The longest (and heaviest) scientifically verified specimen was a female measuring 521 cm (17.09 ft) long and weighing 97.5 kg (215 lb). The color pattern consists of olive green background overlaid with black blotches along the length of the body.
                 The primarily nocturnal anaconda species tend to spend most of its life in or around water. Anacondas are also sometimes known as the water boa; they spend more time in water than any of the boas. Because of their large sizes, they seem rather slow and sluggish when traveling on land. They eat a wide variety of prey, almost anything they can manage to overpower, including fish, birds, a variety of mammals, and other reptiles.
