They will eat anything that they can swallow. Birds, mammals, fish, amphibians and other reptiles. Nothing is off the menu. They are stealth hunters that often hunt from the water and attack from below. They use smell to locate prey. Because the Anaconda are so large and heavy they spend most of their adult life in the water because it helps support their massive weight. It is very rare to see a large adult on land. Also they are are considered to be constrictors. This means that they squeeze they prey until they are dead.

∙ 8y agoAnacondas are a generalist predators, eating whatever animals they can catch. The young females and males primarily eat waterfowl. The anaconda waits for these prey animals to fall inattentive and then "pounces" on them, by striking and landing a powerful bite. Larger animals begin to hunt primarily large mammals and reptiles. Some examples include deer, capybaras, turtles, and caimans/crocodiles. These animals are too large to be taken with a single bite, so the snake hides in waiting. When the animal is close enough, the anaconda moves around the legs, crushing them and then ringing the animal several times in a process known as constriction. Once the animal is sufficiently crushed, it dies of asphyxiation and internal hemorrhaging. Then the animal is ingested.

Anacondas always hunt only when hungry. They can eat any animal they can manage to capture. Young Anacondas prefer prey such as fish, frogs, rodents etc. Adult Anacondas can overpower many different kinds of prey. They can eat turtles, sheep, dogs, jaguars, bird eggs, smaller sized mammals etc. Contrary to what is shown in the movies, Anacondas do not really attack humans unless it's provoked. Reports do not reveal a large number of attacks on humans. Therefore, you can probably be rest assured Anacondas are not particularly on the hunt for humans for their daily meals!
