What do anaconda eat?

They generally eat aquatic animals, like fish, water birds, caiman (small crocodile), and capybaras.

Although there are stories about them eating humans, none of them are true. There is no record of an anaconda eating anyone.

Anacondas prey on deer, wild pigs, birds, ocelot, other snakes, tapirs, sheep, and dogs as well as large rodents like the agouti, paca, and capybara.

Also, sometimes the unwary human.
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 difference between a viper a snake and a serpent?

AnswerA Viper has 2 hollow fangs that are part of the top jaw. They are covered in a thin membrane when retracted. The hollow center of the fang is used to inject venom into it's prey. Mostly used to immobilize prey, rarely used in a defensive strike. Vipers are found all over the world except in Antarctica, Australia, Ireland, Hawaii, Newfoundland, New Zealand, and the Arctic Circle. Most vipers give birth to live young, however, a few still lay eggs.

A Serpent is often used as a mythological or symbolic representation, however a serpent can refer to any type of snake, viper, python, adder, cobra etc.

Additional answer

A viper is both a snake and a serpent. Snake and serpent mean the same thing, and a viper is just one species of them. Your question is like asking what is the difference between a Ford, a car, and an automobile.

What is the largest poisonous snake in the world?

The longest venomous snake in the world is the King Cobra, with one specimen reaching over 18.5 feet long.

Several other venomous snakes - such as the bushmaster, eastern diamondback rattlesnake, or gaboon viper - may reach a greater weight than the king cobra even though they are much shorter.

The appropriate word to use is "venomous", not "poisonous", because venom refers to a toxin that is injected by the animal, whereas poisonous animals are those who spread their toxin by being ingested or through contact with the skin.

What is 'green grass snake' in German?

"Glatte Grasnatter" is a German equivalent of "green grass snake" (Opheodrys vernalis).

It tends to reach a mature length of 12 - 36 inches (30.48 - 91.44 centimeters). It also tends to ensure its place within nature through the precarious hatching of 3 - 13 very small, very cylindrical eggs in September and October.

How long does it take for your lungs to to recover after you quite smoking?

Immediately after quiting smoking, your chances of getting lung cancer are dramatically decreased. But as far as your lungs returning to normal capacity, they never return to 100% capacity. You can increase your capacity to as much as normal as possible by doing cardiovascular activities.

This is not entirely true. If depends how long you have been smoking. If you smoked for less than 10 years at a rate of 1 pack a day or less, your lungs will clear up in 7 to 11 years. However if you have smoked for a long time (like into your 40s or 50s or beyond) if might never fully recover as you might have done some permanent damage to your lungs and as your age advances, your body loses some ability to heal itself as effectively. Plus at an advanced age, you might not live long enough for your lungs to fully recover. So if you quit before 30, there is still hope; your lungs might be back to normal by 40. Also increasing activities like running can speed up your lung's recovery time.

Answer: Suppose you are a long-term smoker. What happens when you quit? Within 20 minutes of your last cigarette, your blood pressure will drop to normal. After a week your body will be free of nicotine. After one month your coughing, sinus congestion, fatigue, and shortness of breath will begin to decrease. After five years your risk of dying from lung cancer will have dropped by 50 percent. After 15 years your risk of coronary heart disease will fall to that of a person who has never smoked at all.

Your food will taste better. Your breath, body, and clothing will smell better. You will no longer have the trouble or the expense of buying tobacco. You will have a feeling of accomplishment. If you have children, your example will reduce the likelihood that they will be smokers. You will likely live longer. Further, you will be acting in harmony with God's will, since the Bible says: "Let us cleanse ourselves of every defilement of [the] flesh." (2 Corinthians 7:1) Don't feel that it is too late for you to quit; the sooner you quit, the better. See Jehovah's Witnesses official website for other informative articles on help with quitting smoking.

What is the the most poisonous snake?

The most poisonous snake would fall in Sea snake category. Since a sea snake would devour on most occasion the cold blooded prey other than a worm blooded one. (A cold blooded prey would require comparatively more stronger venom to be killed than a worm blooded one). And all these in a diluted medium! So the poison of a snake has to be stronger than their land counterparts.

The most poisonous land snake is the KRAIT snake. But amazingly most people in SE ASIA die from cobras and not krait. Although cobra venom is not that much stronger than the kraits. The logic behind the mortality lies from the fact that cobra can eject more venom owing to its bigger body size.

The most venomous snake on earth is the Belcher's Sea Snake (Hydrophis Belcheri) or the Faint Banded Sea Snake, some consider the Inland Taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus) an/or the Beaked Sea Snake (Enhydrina schistosa) to be the most toxic, however, with recent and more accurate studies prove the Belcheri has a 100 times more toxic venom then the two above or any other snake on earth.

It has a paddle-like tail, breathes air and can hold it's breath up to 8 hours, a few milligrams of venom can kill over a thousand people.

It's habitat is a wide range in the South Pacific.

Excluding the Belcher's Sea Snake the next most venomous snakes on earth according to their venom rating are:

2- Inland Tiapan (Oxyuranus Microlepidotus).

3- Common Indian Krait (Bungarus Caeruleus).

4- Philippine Cobra (Naja Philippinensis).

5- King Cobra (Ophiophagus Hanna).

6- Russell's Viper (Vipera Russellii).

7- Black Mamba (Dendroaspis Polylepis).

8- Yellow Jawed Tommygoff (Bothrops Asper).

9- Multibanded krait (Bungarus Multicinctus).

10- Tigar Snake (Notechis Scutatus).

11- Jararacussu (Bothrops Jararacussu).

What does the snake on the Gadsden Don't Tread On Me flag stand for and why a rattlesnake?

There are no clear answers. For lots of information on the subject see http://www.Gadsden.info/ The rattlesnake has been a favorite symbol of independence throughout America's history. Adopted as a uniquely American icon by early patriots, such as Benjamin Franklin, the rattlesnake represents American unity. Individually, its rattles have no sound, but united they can be heard by all. And while it does not strike unless threatened, once provoked the deadly rattlesnake never surrenders. The rattlesnake was used as a symbol of resistance to British repressive acts in Colonial America. Flags bearing rattlesnakes and bearing the simple warning "Don't Tread on Me" were flown on the first ships of the Continental Navy in the Delaware River in 1775. Today, as America faces unprecedented threats, this historic symbol of our founding has emerged as a reminder of our origin and true courage.
