I am going to tell you about a snake from South America,the
anaconda.
Anacondas
live in central South America and tropical South America. They can
also be found in the rivers of South American
rainforests.
They can reach up
to 7.6meters (25ft.). The colors of the adults are dark green with
round black markings. The young are born alive with large
broods.
The smaller
species, the yellow anaconda, can be found in South American
rain forests. It's yellowish green in color with abnormal
blotches.
Although not venomous, anacondas can defend themselves by biting
their enemies several times. Anacondas feed on small birds and other
small animals.The giant anaconda or water boa throttles a collard
pecary before swallowing the animal whole.
Anacondas are also called water dwelling boas of South America. They
are the largest snakes of the boa family.
