Where ancondas live?

Anacondas are spotted most likely near rivers, swamps and pools of the Amazon Rain forest. These large reptiles are known to feel at home in water, rather than on land.

Anacondas can stay submerged for over 10 minutes in water; a ploy it uses to catch its prey.

Anacondas mainly hunt in the night in swampy areas. It also tends to drift with the water with its head breaking the surface occasionally. Its eyes and nostrils are placed on top of the head; this itself enables it to catch its prey while the rest of the body lays submerged in water.

Many anacondas are found in the tropical rainforests and although their numbers are not facing any threat, many of these species are definitely affected due to loss of their natural habitat.

Anacondas also face threat from man because they are hunted for their skin.

Anacondas are most often spotted in the Guianas and throughout the regions of the tropical South America and the Orinoco Basins as well. It is rumored some of them have been seen east of Andes where as the Yellow Anaconda has been spotted south of Argentina.
