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 with a quick strike, 100 rear-facing sharp teeth hold the prey while suffocating it with constriction, (the anaconda is so powerful it generally crushes it's prey) then swallowing it whole and by using it's muscles in a rhythmic fashion it works the food toward its digestive area, the digestion of the anaconda is very slow thereby allowing it to survive without food for well over a year.

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 (6.09 m) long with and average weight of 300+ pounds (136.08+ kg) many reaching lengths of 29ft ( 8.83 m) or more, with a weight of over 550 lbs ( 249.48 kg), in terms of length then and only then will the Reticulated Python exceed the anaconda, the longest python was measured at 33 ft ( 10.05 m) 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 Rainforest in South America which makes them excellent swimmers and are capable of holding their breath for around 15 minutes, female anacondas are generally 3 to 4 times 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 which are about 24 inches (0.6 m) long, they stay with the mother for about and hour then leave to be on their own. 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 with a quick strike, 100 rear-facing sharp teethhold the prey while suffocating it with constriction, (the anaconda is so powerful it generally crushes it's prey) then swallowing it whole and by using it's muscles in a rhythmic fashion it works the food toward its digestive area, the digestion of the anaconda is very slow thereby allowing it to survive without food for well over a year.
Anacondas have around a 10 to 12 year year life span in the wild, in captivity some have reached 20 + years, the biggest threat to it is man and loss of their habitat.
How did the anaconda plan and sherman affect psychiology?
The Anaconda Plan, implemented during the Civil War, aimed to suffocate the Confederacy economically and psychologically by blockading ports and controlling the Mississippi River, instilling a sense of hopelessness. General William Tecumseh Sherman's "March to the Sea" further impacted psychology by demonstrating the brutality of total war, breaking the will of the Southern populace through destruction and psychological warfare. Together, these strategies contributed to a profound shift in how warfare was perceived, emphasizing the psychological toll of conflict on both soldiers and civilians. This shift influenced military strategy and psychological understanding in subsequent conflicts, highlighting the importance of morale and mental resilience.
There are four types of anaconda. they are as follows the yellow anaconda ( Eunectes notaeus ) , the green anaconda ( Eunectes murinus ) , the Bolivian anaconda ( Eunectes beniensis ) , the dark spotted anaconda ( Eunectes deschauenseei ).
Do harpy eagles eat anacondas?
Since Harpies not only live up in the canopy but also are found to hunt in the emergent areas or the ground, they probably do eat anacondas, more likely targeting the younger or baby snakes over the larger adults.

A very large green anaconda could kill and eat a black caiman. Jaguars can kill black caimans on land.
anaconda's are ambush predators, they lay motionless until prey passes and they strike. and uses their body to constrict their prey.
