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.

Did you say anaconda means "elephant killer"? ;) Sure it can.
Posted October 28, 2008
No, there is no such thing!
sreece says:
I think it's much more important to ask whether an anaconda can kill a person - and that it can!

Ramkitten says:
Well, if they happened to be in the same place at the same time, I suppose. But since they live on different continents (except maybe in a zoo?), I'll go with no.

It would have trouble as Anacondas live in South America and Elephants live in Africa and Asia.

- Our first personal experience with an anaconda was about 34 years ago. My husband, baby daughter and I were spending the day in our boat in the Amazon basin (on a tributary of the Amazon River) and suddenly came upon an anaconda sunning itself on a log. It was one of the most beautiful and most awesome sights we've ever seen.
