Well, anacondas or Eunectes murinus are one of the biggest snakes in the world, so as you know they are inhabiting the swamps and rivers of the dense forests of tropical South America. At present, all South American countries prohibit trade regarding the Anaconda. However, some of these countries will allow live export for zoos and research in a limited capacity. The greatest threat to the Anaconda is man. Most local people kill these snakes on sight, out of the fear that they are man-eaters. In most instances, if an Anaconda senses humans in the area, it will retreat in another direction. Human death by Anaconda is quite rare. Habitat destruction is another problem that the Anaconda faces.
