Recently discovered giant anaconda shot dead - researcher hopes for severe punishment for perpetrators. Eight meters long, weighing 200 kilograms and having a human-sized head: the recently discovered Green Anaconda Ana Julia is dead.
Green anacondas are found primarily in South America and are among the largest and heaviest snakes in the world. Once they are fully grown, they have few natural enemies. They can quickly kill their victims, mostly small to medium-sized vertebrates, thanks to their hunting method and their pronounced musculature.
