Anacondas are large snakes belonging to the genus Eunectes. They live in the tropical parts of South America and are classified into four species. Here is a list of the same. 4. Bolivian Anaconda - Commonly known as the Beni anaconda or the Bolivian anaconda, the Eunectes beniensis is a nonvenomous species of Boa that is endemic to Bolivia’s Beni Province. The snake grows up to four meters. Although it was believed to be a hybrid between yellow and green anacondas, it is currently recognized as a distinct species. Within its range, the anaconda lives in aquatic muddy, swampy flooded habitat. 3. Darkly-Spotted Anaconda - Commonly known as the De Schauensee’s anaconda or the dark-spotted anaconda, the Eunectes deschauenseei is a nonvenomous boa constrictor that is endemic to the northeastern parts of South America. It is found in coastal French Guiana, Guayana, and northeastern Brazil. Within its range, the dark-spotted anaconda inhabits seasonally-flooded wetlands and swamps. 2. Yellow Anaconda - The yellow anaconda or the Paraguayan anaconda (Eunectes notaeus) is a species of boa that is endemic to the wilds of South America. Although it is not as big as the green anaconda, it is still a giant reptile. The yellow anaconda lives in the southern parts of the continent where its range includes Paraguay, parts of southern Brazil, Bolivia, and northeastern Argentina. Adults of this species grow up to 10.8 to 14.4 feet and weigh about 25 to 35 kg. The snakes are colored yellowis...

These river dolphins are relatively rarely seen creatures, as it's unusual for them to have their heads above water for very long – let alone to be juggling a predatory snake between their jaws at the same time. While it's not clear exactly what was going on here, dolphins and The photo was taken back in August 2021, near the Tijamuchi River in Bolivia. Researchers saw a group of dolphins staying above the water for longer than usual, but it was only after reviewing their pictures that they got a better idea of what was going on. "After checking on the first images we realized that a snake was handled by [the dolphins], and while it was difficult to estimate their group size, there were at least six of them," the researchers write in a "It became clear that they rather were playing with the snake than trying to eat it." The dolphins interacted with the snake in a few different ways, occasionally swimming together in a synchronized way but mostly staying in the same area (the activity moved around 70-80 meters or 230-262 feet downstream while the researchers were watching over the course of 7 minutes). These interactions between dolphins are rare, and It's possible that the dolphins were teaching each other about the snake, the researchers say, or perhaps eating it rather than playing with it. Another possibility is that the playful activity was actually sexual in nature. "Afterwards, we were able to observe on the photographs that the adult males were sexually aroused whil...
