Anaconda - Yellow Description |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| |
Even though
it is smaller than the Green Anaconda, the Yellow Anaconda
is a large and striking boa. Like the Green Anaconda,
it prefers water to land, and can usually be found in
the swamps, marshes, rivers and streams of South America.
Although the Yellow Anaconda prefers to hunt live prey,
they will also scavenge for animals that are already
dead. Anacondas are well known for their rather aggressive
disposition. Even those that have been kept in captivity
all its life may bite without warning. Luckily, the
Anaconda's bite is not poisonous. It is however, very
powerful and can cause considerable tissue damage. Anacondas
are very difficult to spot in the wild as they can camouglage
themselves with ease. It is not a common snake in captivity
as some other snakes because of its aggressive personality.
They are not often kept as pets, but some people do
acquire them. When they become to large or owners can
no longer handle their aggressive dispostion, they are
handed off to zoos or rescue organiztions, or even released
into the wild. |
