Very good pictures of two big Green Anacondas in El Pantanal (Brazil), it is the only place in the world where you can see them in small cristal clear water channels where you can find them.

Best time of the year to spot Green Anacondas in the Venezuelan Llanos is during the extreme dry season that goes from January to April before the rainy season starts in May. Reply

I think it is your Images ? Who are these two lovely kids ?

In your last image, I can see a caiman also. Is it common to see both of them together ? And if so, who is more dominant among these 2 ? Reply

Yes my Friend Sanjay I took the pictures, the kids are my nephews, after I took the picture of the big Green Anaconda it went after the small Caiman but it did not catch it  they are natural enemies, large Anacondas like the one pictured prey on even the largest Caimans that grow up to 2,50 mt long. Green Anacondas are the most dominant of the two. It is not common to see them close to each other. Reply

After I took this picture the small Caiman escaped very fast. Reply

Breeding balls: mating aggregation of Anacondas involving a very large female and a good number of males (up to 12 males) picture was taken in the Venezuelan Llanos (Book Guia de las Serpientes de Venezuela (Luis Fernando Navarrete s. - Juan C. Lopez-Johnston - Alberto Blanco Davila).

Sexual dimorphism in Green Anacondas. The significantly larger animal is the female, males are very small and lean compared with the big bulky females, very few males grow over 3 meters long.
