Anaconda's are native to the South American continent. They inhabit the lush rain forests of the Amazon river in countries like Columbia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay etc. They live in Swamps, Marshes and slow moving streams in the Amazon & Orinoco river basins. They prefer dense vegetation where they can easily sneak up on unsuspecting prey and hunt them.

Tropical South America, If you mean the snake "Anaconda".

They live on the forest floor of the Amazon Rainforest in South America, it is a very dense tropical forest covering about 5,117,258.95 square miles (8,235,430 square kilometers), it is rich in microorganisms which provide quick decomposition for compost that is very rich and provides a dark, warm and very moist climate, they also spend much if not most of their time in the rivers, lakes and marshes.

Anacondas occur only on the tropical lowland of South America to the East of the Andes. They are fundamentally aquatic reptiles. They live always associated or on water bodies. They prefer stagnant water, not very deep with vegetation coverage. Although they are great swimmers they do rather sit on the bottom of the river. They may be found in caves at the edges of the river or basking on the rivet bank on the wet season
General information!

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 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 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.
