World Biggest Snake In The World Found Dead – People get scared as soon as they hear the name of the snake. But do you know which is the biggest snake in the world. Actually, the world’s largest snake has been found in the Amazon rainforest. So let’s know in detail….
World Longest Snake In The World (World Biggest Snake In The World Found Dead) – Big Snake In The World
The world’s largest snake has been found dead in the Amazon rainforest of Brazil, just weeks after it was discovered. A team of scientists discovered a previously unknown species of giant anaconda in the Amazon during the filming of National Geographic’s Disney+ series ‘Pole to Pole’ with Will Smith. The giant reptile named Ana Julia was found in the Formoso River in the countryside of Bonito, Mato Grosso do Sul state in southern Brazil.
The 26-foot-long northern green anaconda weighed about 440 pounds and its head was similar in size to a human. There have been reports claiming that Ana Julia may have been shot.
Sharing the news on Instagram, Professor Freek Vonk said, “With a heavy pain in my heart I want to tell you that the powerful green anaconda I swam with was found dead in the river this weekend.”
The professor further said, “An iron-strong animal, a living creature, had been swimming in the area around Bonito for decades.” He added, “As far as we know, she (the green anaconda) was very healthy and still in the prime of her life, and could have taken care of many descendants in the years to come. Since there are not so many species of this genus of giant snakes swimming around, biodiversity (and especially this particular species) suffers a huge blow.”
At the time of the discovery, Professor Brian Fry of the University of Queensland said: “The size of these magnificent creatures is incredible – one female anaconda we encountered was an astonishing 6.3 metres in length. Other regional reports suggest female anacondas exceeding 7.5 metres in length and weighing around 500 kilograms.”
The new species, described in the journal Diversity, differs from the previously known southern green anaconda by about 5.5 per cent genetically, dating to about 10 million years ago.
