the Anaconda


The Anaconda lives near water in swamps. It is a type of boa and is the largest snake in the world that is living today. There are 2 types of Anacondas, green and yellow [yellow is smaller]. Anacondas are nocturnal, which means they sunbathe during the day and hunt during the night. Its extensive mouth can swallow larger animals than the anaconda itself! This viperous snake can give birth to 20 to 100 snakes! The Anaconda is just one of the many fascinating creatures of the Amazon
