When it comes to snakes, humans start trembling with fear. Snakes are more dangerous than they appear because of their venom. When a person’s soul trembles just by seeing small snakes, then imagine what would happen if he sees the world’s largest snake in front of him! Recently the same thing happened with a TV anchor. He was in the water when suddenly he found a snake (World’s biggest snake discovered), whose species is new. Not only this, this snake is the largest snake in the world. Its body is as wide as a car tyre.
According to the Daily Mail, the world’s largest snake has been found in the Amazon rainforest, which is actually a Northern Green Anaconda. Wildlife TV presenter Professor Freek Vonk has discovered it. The size of the snake is 26 feet long and it weighs 200 kg. The snake’s head is as big as a human head, its body as wide as a car tyre. A 40-year-old professor from the Netherlands was not afraid of the snake at all and is seen swimming with it in a video.
The world’s largest snake found
Vonk has posted the video of this snake on social media. He has given complete information by sharing a video and some photos related to the snake 2 days ago on his official Instagram account. He told that along 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.
Researchers gave this scientific name
According to the study published in Diversity, the Northern Green Anaconda is a separate species. There is a difference of 5.5 percent between the genes of this and other anacondas, which is considered quite high. There is a 2 percent difference in the genes of humans and chimpanzees, so in that respect the difference between anaconda is more. Researchers have now given this anaconda a Latin tongue name, Eunectes akaima, which means Northern Green Anaconda.
