The species average lifespan is about 10 years but may exceed 30 years. The species is known by other common names including anaconda, common anaconda, and water boa, and also several local names like the Spanish term mata toro (it means literally "bull killer") or sucuri in the Tupi language among many others. Its scientific name Eunectes murinus derives from the Greek word "ευνήκτης" meaning "good swimmer" and the Latin "murinus" meaning "of mice" since it was thought they preyed on mice. Their head is relatively small sized when compared to the thick body with distinctive orange-yellow striping on the sides. The green anaconda coloring is typically an olive green background with oval black spots running down the back and smaller oval spots with yellow centers along the sides, providing excellent camouflage. They have the eyes and nostrils located on top of their heads enabling it to breathe and see while they remain nearly completely submerged, allowing the anaconda to lay in wait for their unsuspecting prey. These massive snakes are clumsy on land because of their sheer weight, but they are sleek and stealthy when in the water. The green anaconda also exhibits the greatest sexual dimorphism between the sexes of any terrestrial vertebrate, females dwarf males in length and are almost 5 times heavier. It's the considered the heaviest snake and only the reticulated python grows slightly longer than the green anaconda but it weighs much less, due to the enormous girth of the anaconda making it almost twice as heavy. Green anacondas grow as long as 29 feet, with a girth of 12 inches (30 centimeters) in diameter and weigh as much as 550 pounds, this undoubtedly one of the world’s largest snakes and much larger than their cousin the yellow anaconda ( Eunectes notaeus). Either in the seasonally flooded savanna, such as Llanos grasslands of Colombia and Venezuela or in the rivers of the vast Amazon and Orinoco basins. This is a semi-aquatic non-venomous snake species, the green anaconda is typically found in swamps, marshes and slow-moving rivers and streams. They are also found on the island of Trinidad off the Venezuelan north-east coast.
