Which country has anaconda

Adults are able to consume much larger animals, including deer, capybara, caimans and large birds. Females will sometimes cannibalize males, especially during breeding season. Due to their size, green anacondas are one of the few snakes capable of consuming a human, however this is extremely rare. Anacondas are typically solitary creatures that stay within their own hunting areas, except during the breeding season. Green anacondas reach sexual maturity at about 3 to 4 years old.

Mating generally occurs from March to May during the dry season. Males form groups of up to 13 snakes and mate with one female.

The mating can last for up to a month, in which time the female will mate several times. Afterward, the female may consume one of more of the smaller males, as she will not eat again for the seven month gestation period. Green anacondas only mate every other year, likely due to the large amount of energy loss.

Females give live birth in the water after sheltering through the rest of the dry season and can give birth to young.

The size of the litter is generally associated with the size of the female. The largest litter on record was 82 young.

Their average life span in the wild is about 10 years. However, they live much longer in human care, with some reports of anacondas living into their late 20s. Like many rainforest species, habitat loss is a threat to green anacondas. Protected areas are not always well regulated and deforestation still occurs.

Green anacondas are also hunted by people. Many people fear anacondas due to their large size or may kill them to protect livestock. There is a large market for anaconda products, and these snakes are also captured for the international pet trade. Some countries have additional national laws making the trade of anaconda products illegal.
