A wild green anaconda, Eunectes murinus, Amazon National Park, Loreto, Peru. The green anaconda (Eunectes murinus), also known as the giant anaconda, emerald anaconda, common anaconda, or common water boa, is a boa species found in South America and the Caribbean island of Trinidad. It is the largest, heaviest and the second longest (after the reticulated python) snake in the world. No subspecies are currently recognized. Like all boas, it is a non-venomous constrictor. The term anaconda often refers to this species, though the term could also apply to other members of the genus Eunectes. Fossils of the snake date back to the Late Pleistocene in the Gruta do Urso locality
