Anacondas, also called water boas, are members of the boa family and are the largest snakes in the world. There are three kinds, giant, yellow and green, which all live in South America. Because they spend most of their time in the water and are mostly found only in very remote areas not a lot is known about them, including how many there are in the wild. They are not thought to be endangered. Here are some websites that can give you more information on anacondas.
