This Giant Snake Took the Lives of 257 People.

According to Saed News, citing Fararu, the world's largest snake, an anaconda measuring 134 feet in length and weighing 2,067 kilograms, was killed in the Amazon rainforest in the United States. This snake had consumed 257 humans and 2,325 animals.

The green anaconda is the heaviest and largest snake species and is considered the second-longest snake after the python.

As a member of the boa family, the South American green anaconda weighs hundreds of kilograms and is recognized as the largest snake in the world.

While the python may grow longer than the green anaconda, the anaconda’s thick body makes it twice as heavy as pythons.

According to National Geographic, a green anaconda can grow up to 8.8 meters (28.8 feet) in length and weigh 227 kilograms (500 pounds), with a body diameter reaching 30 centimeters (12 inches).

Female anacondas are usually larger than males, and other types of this snake species are typically seen in yellow with dark spots.

Habitat in Humid Environments

According to researchers, this snake inhabits the tropical rainforests of the Amazon and thrives in humid environments such as swamps.

The enormous size of these snakes results from a diet consisting of pigs, deer, birds, turtles, rodents, lizards, and even jaguars.

Although non-venomous, the green anaconda uses its powerful muscles to constrict and suffocate its prey before swallowing it whole. After feeding, it can survive for weeks or even months without eating.

Female anacondas lay dozens of eggs at a time, with each newborn snake measuring about 60 centimeters (2 feet) in length.

From birth, anacondas have the ability to swim and hunt, and their lifespan is estimated to be around 10 years.
