Green Anaconda from Most Venomous Snake

Stretching as long as 29 feet and weighing as much as 550 pounds, the green anaconda is one of the world’s largest snakes. Only the reticulated python grows longer, and it weighs less than the green anaconda. Maybe one of the most poisonous snakes. The snake inhabits swampy river valleys and stream banks in much of South America, east of the Andes and south to Argentina. Though it spends much of its life in sluggish freshwater, it also occasionally climbs trees and bushes with the help of its prehensile tail.
