This 500-kilo anaconda discovered in Ecuadorian rainforest is the largest snake ever found

In Ecuador's Baihuaeri Waorani Territory, a new species of Northern Green Anaconda has been discovered, reaching up to 7.5 meters and 500 kilograms. DNA analysis reveals a divergence from the southern green anaconda 10 million years ago. This discovery, rooted in Waorani indigenous knowledge, highlights the need for conservation amid threats like habitat degradation and illegal wildlife trading.
