Anaconda kills by constriction, not venom
in5points
Anacondas are non-venomous constrictors that kill by suffocating prey with their body.
A bite from an anaconda can cause deep wounds, bleeding, and infection without venom.
Large Green Anacondas, 4 to 6 metres long, can wrap around a human and cause suffocation or organ damage.
Anacondas swallow prey whole, including animals up to 50-60 kg like deer or small crocodiles.
Attacks on humans are very rare despite the snake's size and strength.
