Anacondas
Where can you find anacondas?
• Anacondas are giant, nonpoisonous snakes.
They live in or near water in warm parts of
South America. Anacondas are constrictors.
This means that they usually kill their prey by
coiling their body around it and squeezing
until the animal can no longer breathe.
Anacondas are one of the two largest types of
snakes in the world. Certain pythons grow
longer, but anacondas are much heavier.
