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, 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. Dietconsist 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.

Any animal up to the size of a small antelope.
The green anaconda is full of pure muscle. It kills prey by using its big coils to wrap and crush. The coils of a female green anaconda can be thick as a telephone pole. It does not need teeth at all.
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.

it depends on the size of the anaconda
The anaconda has adapted with it great size and force
An alligator, a jellyfish's worst defense is to shock. An alligator is larger in size, and has huge chompers.

It depends on the scenario and species involved. In a fight on land, the leopard would kill any anaconda species by biting off its head. If a fight happened in water, a green anaconda would win due to size and strength. A yellow anaconda would lose as it is much thinner and weaker than the green anaconda.

Highly unlikely - since they don't grow particularly large (up to 72 inches). By contrast an Anaconda can reach three times that size !
