Giant Anaconda

Giant Anacondas




Giant Anacondas, or their latin name - Eunectes murinus, are a dangerous and carnivorous snakes. Found mainly in forests and junges of southern America, they are solatary and evasive creatures of which very few have been found.


Most reports of giant anacondas come from South America, in large, dense jungles such as Brazil and Venezuela, first discovered by European explorers from Spain and Portugal. Natives in jungles, like the Amazon, reported seeing anacondas of 10.5 meters plus however, although there have been many reports, no anaconda over 9 meters has ever been caught. The Wildlife Conservation Society has had a reward of 50,000 dollars since the early 20th century, however so far nobody has claimed the reward yet.


Many reports of anacondas have been made, mainly by scientists, however most of their accounts have been ridiculed.



They have extremly large stomachs and mouths capable of eating anything from rodents to jaguars. Although extremly rare, anacondas have been known to eat young native children who stray too far from there settlements.
