Anaconda
Eunectes murinus
Adult green anacondas are massive semi-aquatic snakes of South American wetlands, especially the Amazon and Orinoco basins. They wait in shallow water or dense vegetation, taking capybaras, birds, fish, turtles, caimans, and other suitable prey by ambush and constriction. Their eyes and nostrils sit high on the head, allowing them to breathe and watch while mostly submerged. Females are much larger than males, making this species one of the heaviest snakes alive.
