23. The UnMuseum - Big Snakes
    Like all snakes, the anaconda is carnivorous. Do large snakes like the python andthe anaconda eat people? Occasionally such attacks are recorded in the wild.

    Extractions: Big Snakes The largest-known snake in the world is the Anaconda, or Eunectes murinus , of South America. It holds the world's record for size with one specimen, encountered by petroleum geologist in eastern Columbia in the 1944, measuring 37 1/2 feet in length. Somewhere deep in the southern swamps do they grow bigger? According to Colonel Percy H. Fawcett , a former British Army officer, surveyor and adventurer in the early 1900's, they do: We were drifting easily along on the sluggish current not far below the confluence of tigor and the Rio Negro when almost under the bow there appeared a triangular head and several feet of undulating body. It was a giant anaconda. I sprang for my rifle as the creature began to make its way up the bank, and hardly waiting to aim smashed a .44 soft-nosed bullet into its spine, ten feet below the wicked head. At once there was a flurry of foam, and several heavy thumps against the boat's keel, shaking us as though we had run on a snag... Fawcett describes how they stopped and examined the body. Though he had no ruler, he guessed the length of the creature at sixty-two feet with a twelve-inch diameter. "Such large specimens as this may not be common, but the trails in the swamps reach a width of six feet and support the statements of Indians and rubber pickers that the anaconda sometimes reaches an incredible size dwarfing that shot by me. The Brazilian Boundary Commission told me of one exceeding eighty feet in length!"

Unlike his cousin the Green Anaconda, which can reach over 27 feet (8.1 meters) in length, and have a girth of 44 inches (111.7 cm), the Yellow Anaconda averages 10 - 12 feet (3.3 - 3.6 meters) in length. The habitat of these animals are swamps, marshes, brush covered banks of rivers and streams. Their diet consists of fish, mammals such as agouti and paca, birds, reptiles (mainly young caimans). Known for their disposition, anacondas are not seen in captivity as much as other snakes. They can give a serious bite. The green anaconda has been known to occasionally have killed humans. It is an advantage for these snakes to have nasty temperament, so they are not found in the pet trade very often.

    Extractions: If you look in the records there is a lot of controversy over which snake holds the world's record for massive size. The dimensions that have earned the anaconda the title of king is its total body mass or its weight (the sheer physical bulk of it). The other snake that competes with the anaconda is the Asiatic Reticulated Python ( Python reticulatus ). The python holds the world's record for length of a snake, with the longest ever measured at 33 feet. Even though the longest python is longer than the record-holding anaconda, the girth of the anaconda is far bigger. Anacondas in the jungles of South America can grow as big around as a grown man. Big enough to swallow a grown man whole! The Secret Life of an Anaconda Anacondas in the wild spend most of their time hanging out in rivers hunting for their food. They are solitary creatures that are somewhat shy and not many of them are easily seen. They are very well camouflaged in the swamps and bogs in which they thrive. There are some historical reports of early European explorers of the South American jungles seeing giant anacondas up to 100 feet long! Some of the native peoples of the South American jungle have reported seeing anacondas up to 80 feet long. No one has caught and measured an anaconda anywhere

    Extractions: The anaconda is the biggest snake in the world. Also known as the Water Boa, this giant, meat-eater lives in swampy areas of tropical (warm) South America. It spends a lot of time in shallow water, hidden from unsuspecting prey. Anacondas are related to boa constrictors. They give birth to live young; 20 to 40 baby snakes are born at one time. Anatomy : Like all snakes, anacondas are cold-blooded; they are the same temperature as the environment. They continue to grow all their lives, getting bigger and bigger each year. The longest anaconda ever found was 37.5 feet (11.4 m) long, there are probably even bigger anacondas that have not been seen. Anacondas are greenish-brown with a double row of black oval spots on the back and smaller white markings on the sides. Their scaly skin glistens but is dry is to the touch. The nostrils are on top of the snout, letting the snake breathe easily when it is in the water. It smells with its tongue. It has no fangs. Hunting and Diet : Anacondas are carnivores (meat-eaters). They mostly hunt at night (they are nocturnal). Anacondas kill by constricting (squeezing) the prey until it can no longer breathe. Sometimes they drown the prey. Like all snakes, they swallow the prey whole, head first. The anaconda's top and bottom jaws are attached to each other with stretchy ligaments, which let the snake swallow animals wider than itself. Snakes don't chew their food, they digest it with very strong acids in the snake's stomach. Anacondas eat pigs

    Extractions: Snakes are a large group of reptiles; there are over 2,000 different species of snakes alive today. Snakes live in a variety of land and water habitats. The most snakes and the largest snakes are found in tropical rainforests . Snakes are found on every continent except Antarctica . There are no snakes native to Hawaii, Iceland, Ireland, or New Zealand. Anatomy : Snakes have a long, narrow body and scaly skin. They have no eyelids, no external ear openings, and no legs (although a few snakes, like boas and pythons, have vestigial hind legs). As they grow, snakes shed their old skin and the film that covers their eyes. Like other reptiles, snakes are cold-blooded. Diet : Snakes are carnivores (meat-eaters). They eat rodents and other mammals birds reptiles fish ... insects , and eggs. Some snakes (like cobras, vipers, and rattlesnakes) are venomous and kill (or paralyze) their prey by injecting poison through hollow fangs. Some snakes (like boas and the anaconda) kill their prey by squeezing it to death. Snakes do not chew their food or even bite it into pieces; snakes swallow their food whole. Other snakes just catch their food and swallow it. Reproduction : Some snakes reproduce by laying eggs; other snakes give birth to live young.

30. Anaconda
    No one is sure how this name came to represent a South American snake, unlessthese two snakes, anaconda and Python, were mistaken as the same species.  
    http://www.nashvillezoo.org/anaconda.htm
    
    Extractions: The name "Anaconda" comes from the Indian language, Sinhalese, which originally probably referred to the Reticulated python. No one is sure how this name came to represent a South American snake, unless these two snakes, Anaconda and Python, were mistaken as the same species. Both snakes are swimmers and 2 of the largest snakes in the world. The Anaconda is the heaviest snake, but it may or may not be the longest.The Reticulated python rivals the Anaconda for the longest snake. A 20-foot Anaconda will weigh more than a 33-foot python. The Anaconda can weigh 550 pounds or more, but will usually top out at a few hundred pounds. These snakes can measure more than 12 inches in diameter. The female typically outweighs the males.

    Extractions: The green anaconda to be specific, the largest snake in the world. Other snakes may grow longer, but none matches the length and weight of the anaconda. The largest specimens can grow to close to 30 feet (9 meters) long and weigh 1,200 pounds (550 kilograms). "The anaconda is the master of the swamp," says Rivas. "Before 1992, no one knew anything about it, and you can't really know anything about an animal by building computer models in the lab. You have to put on the shoes of the snake and wear them. That way you learn the difference between the truth and what you think the truth is." Snake Charmer

    Extractions: Animal Description: Smaller than the Green Anaconda, the Yellow Anaconda is a large and striking boa. While smaller than its larger relative the Green Anaconda, the Yellow Anaconda can still reach an impressive size. They can exceed fifteen feet in length, although females average less than twelve feet and males average around eight feet. They are primarily olive or yellow in color, with lots of dark markings on the back. Male Yellow Anacondas have preanal spurs near the base of the tail that are used in the courting ritual. The Yellow Anaconda can be found in Paraguay, Argentina, Bolivia, and South Brazil. In Brasil this snake is called Sucuri Amarela, which means "yellow sucuri".

    Extractions: Animal Description: The Green Anaconda, often referred to as the "King of Snakes", is shrouded in more controversy and rumor than any other snake. Legends of monstrous Green Anacondas 50 or more feet long have fascinated people for centuries. In truth, this majestic snake rarely reaches over 25 feet in length, but tales still continue to intrigue and fascinate. Though not the longest snake in the world, the Green Anaconda is the most massive. Because of their bulk, large Green Anacondas are much more mobile in the water than on land and generally spend most of their time in or near water. They inhabit bodies of water as large as rivers and those as small as temporary pools. Green Anacondas are ambush predators that typically wait for unsuspecting prey to come within their striking range. They will eat just about any animal of appropriate size including each other and other reptiles, fish, birds, rodents, pigs, and monkeys. Anacondas are constrictors, but there is debate over the most common cause of death of their prey. Traditionally it was thought that the prey is suffocated; but many now believe that the blood vessels are constricted and lack of circulation to and from the heart is the direct cause of death.
