They will eat anything that they can swallow. Birds, mammals, fish, amphibians and other reptiles. Nothing is off the menu. They are stealth hunters that often hunt from the water and attack from below. They use smell to locate prey. Because the Anaconda are so large and heavy they spend most of their adult life in the water because it helps support their massive weight. It is very rare to see a large adult on land. Also they are are considered to be constrictors. This means that they squeeze they prey until they are dead.

What are adult anacondas eaten by?

Anacondas always hunt only when hungry. They can eat any animal they can manage to capture. Young Anacondas prefer prey such as fish, frogs, rodents etc. Adult Anacondas can overpower many different kinds of prey. They can eat turtles, sheep, dogs, jaguars, bird eggs, smaller sized mammals etc. Contrary to what is shown in the movies, Anacondas do not really attack humans unless it's provoked. Reports do not reveal a large number of attacks on humans. Therefore, you can probably be rest assured Anacondas are not particularly on the hunt for humans for their daily meals!
