Tracking Giant Anacondas in Brazil!

Common or Green Anaconda (Eunectes murinus)

No matter that Titanoboa the Great (Titanoboa cerrejonensis) is the biggest, baddest, greatest snake that ever lived. Titanoboa is extinct. The anaconda is alive and well in South America, even though a garter snake compared to the long-gone king of snakes. The issue at hand is the anaconda is not such a small fry compared to humans.

The modern anaconda can be longer than 20 feet and weigh over 200 pounds. Therein lies the problem in "human encounters anaconda". This snake is a formidable predator living in and near water for most of its life. Let's go below the surface of a Brazilian river and see for ourselves!

Meet Titanoboa, Monster Prehistoric Snake: Your Worst Nightmare!

The modern-day King Cobra (Ophiophagus hannah), the world's longest venomous snake at up to 18.5 feet, is terrifying enough, rising upwards of 2 meters (6.5 feet) to survey its surroundings. Even though the King Cobra hunts other snakes, an attack by this mighty predator would be horrific consisting either of multiple bites or biting and holding on. Living in and sharing the ecosystem with the mighty King Cobra would result in a state of perpetual alert and mostly likely a continuous subconscious terror, especially avoiding accidentally violating an egg mound area, tenaciously defended by the female.

In the world of the prehistoric Titanoboa, the King Cobra is insignificant, a worm, not even a player. Titanoboa the Great, the mightiest snake that has ever lived on planet Earth, is your worst nightmare! Weighing in at 2,500 pounds (that's 1.25 tons), 49 feet long, and 2+ feet wide, this giant is beyond comprehension. Our feared King Cobra averages 13 pounds, is 10 to 13 feet long, and only inches wide, not even a decent snack for this monster.
