The mother, who goes without food for the 7-month gestation period, eats the babies that do not survive birth.

Eggs hatch inside the snake’s body, so they give birth to live babies. As with most snakes, female anacondas are bigger than the males. So, here’s a video of some anacondas and alligators. That would make an awesome YouTube video, but I looked for three hours and couldn’t find one. They have been known to eat whole jaguars. Their immense weight makes them cumbersome on land, but they’re incredibly stealthy in the water, lying motionless until their prey comes into range. Anacondas are a great reason not to go swimming in South America, since that’s where they live and they are primarily water snakes. There is a news clipping from 2016 about a 33-foot anaconda in Brazil, but it hasn’t been independently confirmed. Green anacondas are the biggest of their kind, reaching lengths of 30 feet and weighing up to 500 pounds. Green Anaconda Two men hold a green anaconda skin in Brazil’s Amazon basin. Reticulated Python A closer look at Medusa, the Guinness World Record-holder for the longest snake ever. Instead, here are the world’s largest snake species, along with a few individual specimens that are just too impressive to leave out, including Medusa, a 25-foot-plus python, which, among living serpents, is the longest snake in the world. What follows isn’t a strict rundown of the largest snakes ever recorded, as that would mostly involve pythons of slightly different lengths. There was also the man-sized bulge in the snake’s body. Villagers became suspicious when they found the snake “slithering awkwardly” near where the farmer’s boot was found.

In 2017, the body of a palm fruit farmer in Indonesia was found inside a 23-foot-long python. The longest of them, pythons, can stretch well beyond the length of George Washington’s 21-foot nose on Mount Rushmore, and there is anecdotal evidence of some specimens reaching 33 feet, or nearly as long as a telephone pole. (Many of the latter starred in the 1982 Arnold Schwarzeneggar breakthrough hit Conan the Barbarian and are retired now.) But even in the real world, a handful of snake species can grow to immense proportions. Pretty much all of the really impressive “biggest snakes in the world”-the 50-footers and up-live online or in Hollywood.
