Index
The anaconda is one of the largest snakes on the planet. It can grow to an incredible 9 metres long and can weigh up to 250 kilograms.
Anacondas are found in many countries in South America. They live in rivers and swamps and can stay under water for up to ten minutes at a time before coming up to breathe.

Some snakes kill their prey by injecting venom through a bite - but not the anaconda. The anaconda is a member of the constrictor family. When it attacks, it springs from the water and grabs hold of its prey. Then the anaconda wraps its body around its prey and squeezes hard until it stops breathing.
The anaconda then eats its prey whole!
It can take months for the anaconda to digest its prey. All animals can find themselves on the menu of this monstrous predator.
