Snake is considered to be the most poisonous animal in the world. But today we are not going to tell you about snake poison. Rather, today we are going to tell you about the world’s biggest snake. Actually, recently a TV anchor came across a snake whose species is new. Not only this, it is being claimed that this is the largest snake in the world. Today we are going to tell you about this snake.
Where was this snake found
According to Daily Mail, it was found in the Amazon Rainforest. Let us tell you that this snake is actually a Northern Green Anaconda. Wildlife TV presenter Professor Freak Vonk has discovered it. It is being told that the size of this snake is 26 feet long and it weighs 200 kg. Not only this, the snake’s head is as big as a human head and its body is as wide as a car tyre. It is seen in the video that the 40-year-old professor from Netherlands is not afraid of the snake at all, rather he is seen swimming with it.
The world’s largest snake
Let us tell you that Professor Freak Wonk has named this snake. The video has been posted on social media. He told that together with 14 scientists from 9 countries, he has discovered the world’s largest snake, which is a green anaconda. Till now, only one species of Green Anaconda was discovered in Amazon, which is also called Giant Anaconda. According to the study published in Diversity, Northern Green Anaconda is a different species. There is a difference of 5.5 percent between the genes of this and other anacondas, which is considered quite high. Just as there is a 2 percent difference in the genes of humans and chimpanzees, the difference between that of anaconda is even greater. Researchers have now given this anaconda the Latin name Eunectes akaima, which means Northern Green Anaconda.
