How does the Green Anaconda Hunt?

Green anacondas are part of a snake family called constrictors. These snakes don’t have venom, so they don’t bite to poison their prey. Instead, they catch their food by wrapping their strong bodies around it and squeezing tight. It squeezing stops the prey from breathing, and then the anaconda can eat it.

What does the Green Anaconda Eat?

Anacondas eat many animals like fish, caimans (which are relatives of crocodiles) and sometimes even jaguars or small deer. Their jaws can open very wide because they have stretchy ligaments. This lets them swallow big animals whole.
