The green anaconda is the world’s heaviest snake, found exclusively in the Amazon River Basin and the rainforests of South America. This non-venomous water boa is also one of the longest snakes in the world, capable of swallowing large animals such as deer and cattle. If you’re interested in witnessing the anaconda in action, keep reading as we count down eight of the most savage hunting moments involving these formidable predators.
Number 8: The Cow Attack
This hungry anaconda targets a cow, dragging it out of the corral and clinging to its leg. The snake wraps itself around the cow’s body and starts suffocating it. The massive anaconda begins devouring the cow starting with the head. Despite the cow’s size, the snake manages to swallow it whole, although it will take months to digest such a large meal.
Number 7: The Deer Conquest
A giant anaconda drags a deer into the forest and starts swallowing it whole, beginning with the head. The snake opens its mouth incredibly wide to accommodate the deer’s size. In another instance, hunters stumble upon an anaconda devouring a blessed buck. They witness the snake swallowing the buck’s head and finishing the meal in less than five hours. This footage, sped up eight times, shows the anaconda’s strength and ability to consume large prey.
Number 6: The Crocodile Crush
An anaconda is seen crushing a crocodile, wrapping its massive body around the reptile and suffocating it. The crocodile struggles, but the snake’s powerful constriction is overwhelming. In another encounter, a crocodile holds onto a snake, but the anaconda manages to wrap itself around the crocodile, which eventually releases the snake.
Number 5: The Dog’s Peril
In this scenario, an anaconda wraps itself around a dog. Villagers use long sticks to free the dog, which runs away as soon as it’s released. In another instance, a dog is temporarily freed from a python’s grip, only to be captured again. The dog bravely bites the serpent until it lets go, allowing the dog to escape.
Number 4: The Rabbit’s Demise
A white rabbit becomes prey to an anaconda in an aquarium. The snake strikes the rabbit and wraps itself around it, crushing it to death. The snake then swallows the rabbit whole. In another video, a rabbit is ambushed by an anaconda, suffocated, and swallowed, with blood visible as the snake repositions itself.
Number 3: The Chicken Coop Invasion
An anaconda enters a chicken coop and strikes a chick, swallowing it whole. The snake continues to eat more chicks until it’s full. The video shows a chicken being swallowed alive, with its wings still flapping inside the snake’s mouth.
Number 2: The Pig Predicament
A pig stands in a marsh, trying to resist an anaconda’s attack. Despite the pig’s efforts, the snake suffocates it. Two men arrive and use sticks to free the pig, which runs off squealing. In another instance, a sleeping pig is snatched and swallowed by an anaconda.
Number 1: The Capybara Confrontation
The green anaconda, the world’s heaviest snake, can reach up to 25 feet in length and weigh over 300 pounds. These snakes often wait for prey to come to them, blending into plant-choked waters. The capybara, the world’s largest rodent, coexists with anacondas in flooded plains. An anaconda stalks and strikes a capybara, using its fangs and constriction to suffocate the rodent. The snake then swallows the capybara whole, using its elastic jaws and flexible joints.
