The Yellow Anaconda
While the yellow anaconda isn’t as big as the green anaconda, it’s still among the largest snake species in the world. Female anacondas are heavier and longer than their male counterparts, reaching lengths of up to 4.6 meters (about 15 foot). Yellow anacondas usually thrive in the southern parts of South America. This anaconda prefers an aquatic habitat, living in swamps and marshlands where it hunts for prey. Yellow anacondas aren’t venomous, but once one captures its victim, it will suffocate it by wrapping itself around the animal and consuming it whole.
