The last post of my Rainforest Animals series.
The green anaconda is one of the largest snakes in the world, reaching over 30 feet in length, 12 inches in diameter, and weighing over 550 pounds. Due to its size, it is quite cumbersome on land, but it is stealthy in the water.
One of the most feared animals in the Amazon Rainforest, the anaconda is an expert swimmer and never found far from water.
Anacondas bear live young snakes. The life span of the Anaconda can extend from 15 – 30 years.
Not my favorite animal by a long shot. However he deserves to be added to the series.

i have seen them in the wild (amazon) and i have to say I pulled way back in the boat!
I would have pulled way back, yikes!
i was up against the cabin on the boat when it swam by
Good for you. That is something you will never forget.
i had nightmares for a month.
I would still be having nightmares.
Oh , this is really scary , snakes are always dangerous
Yes and this one is also in the rain forest.
It looks kinda cute on the photo so the poll question made me smile. But it’s a scary creature to meet for sure.
Looks can be deceiving I guess.
Interesting information. I have seen anaconda only once. It was in a zoo where they had a rainforest. The snake was lying in a log and since it did not move I petted it and then it raised its head and I quickly left.
I avoid the snake exhibits at the zoos.
Snakes are not among my favorite animals. Although some are beautiful.
Mine either, these were on the rain forest list.
