The fascinating fact about anacondas is that they are non-venomous. The only way of attack an anaconda preserve is by coiling around its prey and squeezing it to death. An anaconda is the type of snake which is part of the boa pride. Anacondas are not like other snakes; instead of giving birth to eggs, an anaconda gives birth to live little ones. Anacondas are usually found in crawling in waters of the Southern areas.
On our earth, four kinds of anaconda species are living. Each kind represents different characteristics and different facts. Let’s take a look at them.

Yellow anaconda is also famous as Paraguayan anaconda. It is a part of the boa pride and is widely spread in the whole of South America. However, a yellow anaconda might possess some distinctive properties, but it is not as large as the green anaconda, but it is still considered as a huge reptile. A large quantity of the yellow anaconda is found in Paraguay, in Bolivia, northeastern Argentina, and Southern Brazil. The color of this snake is green-yellow, golden-ish, or yellow with spots, saddles, streaks or blotches of black or dark brown.
A yellow anaconda is a very unpredictable snake, which means it can pose a threat to humans. However, it is the other way around because humans hunt snakes for their skins.
