Anacondas

de Josh Gregory

Reaching lengths of more than 20 feet (6 meters) and weighing over 550 pounds (249 kilograms), the green anaconda is the largest snake species in the world. Readers will learn all about these massive snakes and their slightly smaller cousins, from the way they use their bodies to crush prey to the way they stretch their jaws to swallow huge animals whole. They will also find out how where anacondas live, how they reproduce, and why people have little to fear from these powerful snakes.
