A large anaconda could conceivable eat a baby elephant, but since anacondas are native to South America, while elephants are native to Africa and Asia, it is not likely that the anaconda would have the opportunity. On the other hand elephants are very protective of their young and the mother would probably stomp the snake into the ground if they did meet.
An anaconda can never swallow an elephant. Swallowing is a different aspect altogether. It wouldn't be able to kill one. Elephants are not only the strongest animals, they are one of the smartest too.

An anaconda wouldn't think of killing and swallowing a muscular man and hence it seems very implausible to include the mightiest animal in its menu.

Does an eagle eat an anaconda?

Anaconda's spend a lot of time in Water which gives them the name "Water Boa". Many of the water mammals and other species that live around the water bodies, form the prey species. They can eat anything they can overpower & kill including fish, birds, mammals like Tapir, Capybara, Reptiles like Caiman etc. They constrict (squeeze) their prey to kill and then swallow them whole. They usually prefer prey that they can swallow. Large prey like a Buffalo or an Adult Human are impossible to swallow for the Anaconda. So, they don't usually eat them. However, they can easily kill any living animal.


Can an anaconda eat any animal?

Due to their sheer size and strength, adult Anaconda's have no natural enemies. No other animal in the rainforests is large enough to kill a full grown Anaconda. A Jaguar or a large Caiman may kill a small or adolescent Anaconda but an adult is ruled out as prey even for these predators. On the other hand, Anaconda's are known to kill even large Caiman's and Jaguars when they feel threatened.
