Eunectes murinus - The green anaconda is the world’s largest snake. Individuals measuring 10 to 12 meters and weighing up to 250 kilos have been recorded. Anacondas prefer shallow and slow moving waters where most of their feeding takes place. The anaconda may either remain motionless in the vegetation or lurk partially submerged in the water until an unsuspecting animal comes along. The anaconda will grab and hold the victim with its sharp teeth until it can wrap itself around the body and render it unconscious by constriction.
