A farm guy for lunch ?

Only a few snakes have so much legend attached to them as the Anaconda, though stories of specimens reaching 20m (60 feet) in length wildly exaggerated. See the action movies they made, by example : Anaconda 1 and 2 and  ???  In fact the maximum length recorded is more in the region of 7m to 9m (20-27 feet), whilst these days the majority of „big“ anacondas encountered measure between 3-4m (9-12 feet).

Like other members of its family this one here is a constrictor, they are not poisonous, and though it is capable of delivering a nasty wound if it bites, the vast majority of individuals are non-aggressive and prefer to flee. This species is distributed mainly in western Paraguay. Mainly !!??   Can they also appear in Uruguay  ??

 If they hunt, they can stay up to 15 minutes under water, just the eyes are seen, and then they catch their loot, roll around it and they crush and squash it. They are able to sling down a whole pig or even a crocodile.

Same one down here, shows a length of about 7,50m (22,5 feet). I did not try to measure her !!!
