Is the giant anaconda the stuff of fact or fiction? In truth, the anaconda can grow be to a truly massive. Often
shrouded in mystery many sightings have been made of the fabled giant anaconda, but in reality, the biggest
spotted anacondas are pretty large. One of the two biggest snakes, and members of the python family, the
anaconda can grow to a similar size as the reticulated python, but its body is typically much bigger in size than
the python. With reporting of the giant anaconda growing over thirty floor in length, it’s easy to see why it’s
one of the most well known giant reptiles in existence today.
The giant anaconda like it similar sibling is a non venomous snake, but is still deadly due to its massive
body and ability to constrict and wrap its body around its foes. Giant Anacondas have been reported to kill
animals as large as elephants, flip boats and are natural predators. The anaconda is native to South Africa and
lives in watery warm environment from rainforests and grassland to scrubland.
The name of the anaconda is unclear in origin and there are multiple theories over where the name originated,
including two interesting theories where the names is derived from the Tamil language. The first anai-kondra
which translates to ‘which killed an elephant’ and the word anaikoira which translates to ‘elephant killer’. The
Boa Genus and the giant anaconda are part of the Boa family, or the Boa genus, where Boa actually means
large serpent in Latin, the giant anaconda belongs to the family due to hunting nature, where it will coil round
its prey, suffocating and choking them before swallowing and digesting their bodies.
As previously mentioned anaconda is native to South America and its colouring and patterns reflex is habitat
allowing the anaconda to successfully blend in with its environment. While the giant anaconda is not poisonous
and spreads no venom through its teeth, with its natural size, it doesn’t need in most cases to subdue its prey
via venom. The giant anaconda still uses its teeth as a weapon, often to catch its prey in a grip before wrapping
the subject up with the rest of its body, constricting and controlling.
The female giant anaconda gives birth via vivipary, meaning the mother will keep the eggs inside her body,
till they hatch, meaning a live but rather than laying eggs. Typically a giant anaconda will give birth to up
forty babies after a six month gestation period.
The young anacondas are very fragile and prone to predators in this early stage, although they adapt fast and
become capable of looking for food, swimming and moving for themselves within a few hours of birth. The
young giant anacondas are quite large and are typical around two feet long, they continue to grow rapidly for
the next three to four years and soon will reach maturity.
