First of all the Anoconda is a species of boa, not a separate type of snake. So actually there 2 types of constrictor snakes containing sub species.The two types are boa constrictors,and pythons.
Constrictors kill there prey by wraping around it and basically suffocateing it.sliding menacingly through the trees. That’s probably because these big snakes make a big impressionprople tend to think of boas as evil and dangerious.But boas are usually pretty quiet and calm and don’t deserve their nasty reputation.they are non venomous and make fairly good pets.and wild boas usaully try to avoid people and other preditors.
Anocondas are four species of water boa constrictors.(they like to live in or near bodies of water or thick forest areas)
the green anoconda can reach a length of 30 feet and weigh up to 551 pounds!the anoconda is the largest snake in the world.
Anacondas bite their prey with their sharp teeth, hold on with their powerful jaws and pull them under water. or squeez thier prey it suffictes. they swallow thier prey whole .Thier jaws can cunhinge and the jaw bones are loosely connected to the skull so it can actually swallo prey much larger than thier own heads and mouth.
Like most snakes,the anoconda is precieved as a extremely dangerious, but it truth,like most snakes do not desreve their evil image.the tend to try to avoid humans.And just for the record, the longest snake on record is the Python reticulatus. The python holds the world's record for length of a snake, with the longest ever measured at 33 feet.
The heaviest snake species in the world is the Anaconda,wieghing in at about 551 pounds
