Fortunately our guide on the boat spotted this anaconda in vegetation on the edge of the Rio São Lourenço, just North of Porto Jofre.

Nice one! It has interesting, milky eyes. I wonder if it was about to molt. Posted 2 years ago

The Yellow anaconda

The yellow anaconda, also known as the Paraguayan anaconda, is a boa species endemic to southern South America. It is one of the largest snakes in the world but smaller than its close relative, the green anaconda. No subspecies are currently recognized. Like all boas and pythons, it is non-venomous and kills its prey by constriction.
