The capybara is the most common animal taken by anacondas, but they will take many animals, what ever they can overpower.

Can anacondas live in the desert?

No, anacondas are large tropical snakes that spend most of their lives in or near water, such as rivers, lakes or swamps. They could not survive in a desert.


Caralluma is part of what family?

Caralluma is a flowering plant in the dogbane family, Apocynaceae. Most of the species are in Africa and are valued as a medicinal plant. One of the species called Caralluma Edulis is eaten as a vegetable.


How good is the anacondas sense of smell?

Bad compared to most other snakes. Because of their natural environment and a lot of other factors of survival, anacondas urinate/excrete very often and this causes them to have a fowl odor. If not properly cared for in captivity, anacondas can be very unpleasant to have.


Are there any foods that cannot be eaten in Africa?

No, any normal food can be eaten in South Africa. Obviously endangered animals and fish which are prohibited in most countries can not be eaten in South Africa.


Why are anacondas violenrt?

Anacondas are not violent as implied by the question. The green anaconda (the most commonly referred to of the species) is the second largest snake in the world, bested only by the reticulated python. The anaconda is a nocturnal species of snake and prefers to spend its days in secluded spots resting and sunning. As a general rule, the snake, like most snakes, will try to flee from confrontation with humans. However, when a person decides to try to capture the snake, or corners the snake leaving it no escape route, the anaconda will vigorously defend itself. Lacking limbs, the snake has only its teeth and biting ability to defend itself from predators and perceived threats, and will strike repeatedly when harassed. Their bites are powerful, although non-venomous, and painful. The snake may also attempt to constrict its attacker if biting alone is not enough of a detterent. Most all of the negative experiences people have with the anaconda are a direct result of their actions towards the snake, although extremely large animals may mistake a smaller human for a potential prey item. All this is quite natural behavior, therefore it is incorrect to label the snake as violent.
