The question what is the biggest snake can be confusing, the biggest as far as girth (largest being measured at 44 inches or 1,1176 m) is the Green Anaconda, on average anacondas are more then 20 ft (6.09 m) long with and average weight of 300+ pounds (136.08+ kg) many reaching lengths of 29ft ( 8.83 m) or more, with a weight of over 550 lbs ( 249.48 kg), in terms of length then and only then will the Reticulated Python exceed the anaconda, the longest python was measured at 33 ft ( 10.05 m) but even this python can't match the total mass of the anaconda.
Anacondas are members of the Boidae family of reptiles and spend most of their time in rivers and swamps of the Amazon Rainforest in South America which makes them excellent swimmers and are capable of holding their breath for around 15 minutes, female anacondas are generally 3 to 4 times larger then the males and bear their young live and are called "Neonates", the number of young varies, some have produced 100 babies, but the average is between 20 to 40 babies which are about 24 inches (0.6 m) long, they stay with the mother for about and hour then leave to be on their own. Diet consist of (depending on the size of the anaconda, the larger the snake the larger the prey) large/small rodents like capybaras, also pigs, caiman, jaguars, deer, dogs, birds even fish and is acquired by ambushing with a quick strike, 100 rear-facing sharp teethhold the prey while suffocating it with constriction, (the anaconda is so powerful it generally crushes it's prey) then swallowing it whole and by using it's muscles in a rhythmic fashion it works the food toward its digestive area, the digestion of the anaconda is very slow thereby allowing it to survive without food for well over a year.
Anacondas have around a 10 to 12 year year life span in the wild, in captivity some have reached 20 + years, the biggest threat to it is man and loss of their habitat.

Anacondas have around a 30 year life span and the biggest threat to it is man and loss of their habitat.
we can see anacondas in some of the south American countries where the amazon river flows.
The Anaconda is found in the Guianas, throughout tropical South America
No. Anacondas are not native to Australia.
anacondas are found in the tropical south america. they are mostly found in the amazon river .
No. Anacondas are very large water snakes found in South America.
In the wild, anacondas like to ambush prey whilst being hidden in the water found in marshes, etc.
Anacondas fall under the animalia kingdom, because they are considered animals. Anacondas are very large snakes that are typically found in the rain forest.
Anacondas are found in the Amazon, the tropical rain forests of South America, in Brazil and the Guianas.
Not naturally - they are a native species of central and southern america.
Anacondas are often found in or near water.
Annacondas or boa constrictors are found throughout the continent.
Female green anacondas are able to prey on mountain lions since jaguars include part of their diet. The mountain lion is also found in south america.
No. Anacondas live in South America, lions are found in Africa. Jaguars have been known to kill anacondas, so a lion, if they were found in South America certainly could kill one, but as stated above they do not live South America.
