Anacondas (Jibóia and Sucuri, local names) are four species of aquatic boa snake inhabiting the swamps and rivers of the dense forests of tropical South America as well as the southern swamps of the island of Trinidad. The Yellow Anaconda can be found as far south as Argentina.

There are two possible origins for the word 'anaconda': It is perhaps an alteration of the Sinhalese word 'henakanday', meaning 'whip snake', or more likely, the Tamil word 'anaikondan', which means 'elephant killer', as early Spanish settlers in South America referred to the anaconda as 'matatoro', or 'bull killer'. It is unclear how the name originated so far from the snake's native habitat; it is likely due to its vague similarity to the large Asian pythons.[1]

An Anaconda snake is of a tropical variety. They have been known to get large enough to eat small human biengs. I don't know if they are aggressive. You can get more info by researching on line. there is alot of info at alot of public places. You could try the closest Zoo, check websites, research reptiles etc.....

I think it would serve you better and more completely if you would check the website for "Anaconda". You will find all the information, however, brief or elongated you require to help you. Good luck. (did you think that your Yahoo community friends would have 'instant' information about Anacondas at their fingertips? We have to look up information as well.) Again, good luck to you.
