I don’t what people are thinking half the time anymore.

An anaconda is an apex predator. It can grow almost 30 feet long with a width as large as an adult human’s waist.

They consume enormous prey including animals as large as caimans (six feet long) and large mammals such as deer.

I got one better than that. On night back in the '70s some kid broke into the Reptile House at the National Zoo and stole a Gabon Viper. He put the snake in a paper grocery bag and caught a Metrobus home, but it bit him on the way.
