Researchers have discovered a rare anaconda in the Amazon forest. This new species of anaconda is said to be the world's largest snake. The snake was found in the Ecuadorian part of the world's largest rainforest. The Independent reported this information in a report.
According to the report, the green anaconda, which existed about a million years ago, is considered to be the largest snake in the world. Researchers claim to find a new species of anaconda in a shallow reservoir in the Amazon jungle.
In the Ecuadorian part of the Amazon, this giant snake was found while filming a video for a television channel's documentary series. It is claimed that the snake with a length of more than 20 feet weighs 500 kg. The study was led by Australian researcher Brian Fry, who has spent more than 20 years searching for new species of anaconda in the jungles of Latin America.
University of Queensland Professor Brian Fry said, it is a very large snake. Its exact length is difficult to say. However, it will be more than 20 feet. Although it seems excessive to many, in my opinion this is the largest anaconda of twenty. 
According to the researchers, this new species of anaconda has not been recorded yet. However, the rare snake is well known to the local aborigines. To their dismay, all species of anacondas, including the green anaconda, are now at risk of extinction. Anacondas are difficult to survive mainly due to their huge size.
Anacondas are definitely struggling to survive, Professor Brian Fry added. This snake is in crisis of existence throughout the Amazon. The larger the animal drawing, the harder it is for them to survive in nature. Large snakes require deep water. But due to decrease in rainfall, water bodies are also decreasing.
Despite its huge size, the anaconda is not poisonous. This snake is found in or near water in the warm regions of South America.
