How does an anaconda eat jaguar?

Answer 1

Yes. Anaconda has needle sharped teeth and a ferocious bite and agility in the water and only lacks the nails of the cat. However anacondas bear the bruises and they will just circle the cat in it's deadly coils and eat it which is of no problem. The video of a jaguar eating the anaconda infact there were two was staged to advertise the jaguar in national geographic.

Answer 2

Yes.

General information!

Anacondas Scientific classification.

Kingdom: Animalia

Phylum: Chordata

Subphylum: Vertebrata

Class: Reptilia

Order: Squamata

Suborder: Serpentes

Family: Boidae

Subfamily: Boinae

Genus: Eunectes

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 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 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. 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, the digestion of the anaconda is very slow thereby allowing it to survive without food for well over a year.

Anacondas have around a 30 year life span and the biggest threat to it is man and loss of their habitat.

Answer 3

Only large female green anacondas prey on adult jaguars. When the jaguar is in water, the anaconda will ambush attack and strike at the jaguar. The green anaconda will coil around the jaguar and drown it.

Answer 4

Technically, yes. But whether or not a tiger would win a battle with an anaconda could be questionable.

Answer 5
