Did you know Anaconda has four different types?

Anaconda or aquatic boas can be categories as four different species. They are green anaconda, the yellow anaconda, the Dark-Spotted anaconda or Deschauense's Anaconda (Eunectes deschauenseei) , and the Bolivian Anaconda (Eunectes beniensis).

There are two possible origins for the word "anaconda". It is perhaps an alteration of the Sinhalese word "henakanday," meaning "thunder snake," or alternatively, the Tamil word "anaikondran," which means "elephant killer."

It is unclear how the name originated so far from the snake's native habitat, maybe due to its vague similarity to the large Asian pythons. Locals names for the anaconda in South America include the Spanish term matatoro, meaning "bull killer," and the Native American terms sucuri, yakumama, and jiboia.

Eunectes murinus, a.k.a. The Green anaconda also known as the largest and the most well-known Of all four species of anacondas inhabiting South America and the Caribbean island of Trinidad which normally believed to max out at around 30 feet.

The Green Anaconda has very sharp teeth . It holds an animal in a inescapable grip. The Green Anaconda hunts by night, and preying on large animals like deer and others.
