About the Yellow Anaconda
Smaller cousin of the Green Anaconda but still reaching 4 meters. Golden-yellow with dark saddle patterns. Excellent swimmers that spend most of their time in water. Give birth to live young — up to 40 at once. Often hunted for their skin. They use constriction to subdue prey. Invasive populations exist in Florida, though less established than the Burmese python.
