There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Fantastic picture Vinod, amazing animal, a little darker than those from Venezuela, I most mention, and that is interesting.
Most, if not "all" the scientific records from modern anacondas came from Venezuela and they don't surpass the 6-7 meters, so a 8 meter anaconda from the Mato Grosso should not be out of question, as this place is also home of the largest jaguars of the world. The problem here is that this snake was not measured, only estimated by its bulkiness and the animal itself was gorged, so an "eye" estimation is unreliable.
So, this is a magnificent snake, but probably about 5 - 6 meters at best.
