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.

If you put your mouse cursor over the picture below, it said the anaconda was 8 meters long. I doubt it was actually 8 meters long, more like below 5 meters.

I agree, that snake is no way 8 meters, not even close.

I have to say, that from photos alone, especially when snake is in many curves, it is very very difficult to make too accurate estimations. I time to time use a little bit time to look closer some. I do it so, that I estimate some object from photo, which is about 180-200 cm (imo), then using that as default value I measure it and animal and try to make best guess, which is a bit more than just a wild guess, but then again even in best case it is just a rough estimation. Photos are really problematic, so many issues there which can fool you.
What comes to many anaconda photos, which you have shared, I would say, that many 5-6 meter long snakes there. I wouldn´t be surprised if longest even 7 meters. This anaconda in picture.. I would say about 4,5 meters, maybe even 5. Interesting to see what epaiva say. After all he is the one here, who actually is out there measuring snakes.
@Shadow
I totally agree with your estimation of the size of this specimen

Beautiful powerful Anaconda measured 4,65 meters long, it gave a great fight when we captured her. I did it with two other persons that worked in Hato El Frio in the Venezuelan Llanos
