The Great Anaconda
This wonder of a world is a non-venomous constrictor which means that it squeezes it's prey to death. They are in the water more than any other boa-constrictor. Smaller Camans are a good catch for the Anaconda since their shape is so triangular. When Anacondas are captured they go straight into self-defense mode: looping the rest of their body around their head. A large female fully grown adult Anaconda can grow up to 20 ft long, weigh over 235 lbs, with a width of 12 inches! Just like many other animals, the male Anaconda is quite a bit smaller and thinner than the female Anaconda. Although most animals have a size difference according to gender the Anaconda has the biggest gender difference. The wet season starts in May and lasts through the month of November. The dry season starts in late November and goes through April when the cycle starts again. Before the dry season, the animals feast so they won't completely starve in the dry season. Anaconda's only usually eaten 3-4 times per year. Female Anaconda's need to store up fat for their pregnancy since they do not eat for about 7 months. An Anaconda's digestive system is so strong that they can digest a turtles' shell! They have more than 100 backward facing teeth that help it shove the prey into its mouth.
