The biggest snake in the world today is the Green Anaconda (Eunectes murinus).
This massive constrictor can grow to an impressive size, with some individuals reaching over 20 feet in length and weighing over 500 pounds.
While the Reticulated Python (Python reticulatus) can sometimes exceed the Green Anaconda in length, the Anaconda typically outweighs it, making it the heavier and more massive snake.
Found primarily in the Amazon rainforest, the Green Anaconda is a powerful predator that relies on its immense size and strength to subdue prey, which includes fish, birds, and even large mammals like deer and caiman.
While often portrayed as fearsome creatures in popular culture, Green Anacondas are generally shy and avoid contact with humans.
