Reptile.
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 long many reaching lengths of 29ft or more, with a weight of over 550 lbs, in terms of length then and only then will the Reticulated Python exceed the anaconda, the longest python was measured at 33ft 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 in South America which makes them excellent swimmers, 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 and constricting it's prey (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.

What is the Black Anaconda's common name?
I assume you're asking for the scientific name of the Black Anaconda, since 'black anaconda' would be a common name.Unfortunately, 'black anaconda' is not a well-known common name, so it is difficult to guess which species it refers to. This is why scientific names are used when the identity of a species is important.There are only four species in the genus Eunectes, so that dramatically cuts down on the possibilities.Eunectes beniensis: The Bolivian Anaconda (I can GUESS that this MIGHT be the black anaconda, because these animals tend to be very dark in color, but I was unable to find any reference to that being a known common name for them).Eunectes deschauenseei: The Dark-Spotted Anaconda (other names for this animal include De Schauensee's anaconda).Eunectes notaeus: The Yellow Anaconda (other names for this animal include Paraguayan anaconda).Eunectes murinus: The Green Anaconda (The animal everyone thinks of when you say 'anaconda', and the heaviest snake species on Earth). Other names for this animal include 'common anaconda', and 'water boa'.Anacondas are a genus of boas that are all native to South America. They use constriction to kill their prey, and give live birth to their young.
What do anaconda snakes eat?

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.
