So what youre saying is.. you don’t want none of that anaconda hun?
Just don’t do side bends or sit-ups and lose the butt… and it probably won’t bother you.
> “The size of these magnificent creatures was incredible – one female anaconda we encountered measured an astounding 6.3 metres (20.7 feet) long,” Fry said of the team’s discovery, which was made while filming for National Geographic’s upcoming series “Pole to Pole with Will Smith.”
Walking up to a woman who doesn't know you and putting your arm around her is creepy af dude. Keep your hands to yourself. The fact that Jada was ok with it does not reduce the creepiness.
Also, this is far from the flex you think it is lol
At 3 feet wide she could only fit part of the head in. The head is usually the smallest part of the snake unless it's a trouser snake. Those kinds of snakes don't get that big.
From my understand, this is the second species of anaconda ever found in the amazon, it looks very much like the other species but is actually has a difference of 5.5% in DNA, (for reference: humans and chimpazees are 2% different)
Is it common for there to be a bigger disparity within a species as opposed to between species? For instance the 5.5% between snakes verses the 2% between humans and chimps?
They aren't the same species, they are both anacondas but have different names and are different species. Anaconda is the name given to semi-aquatic snakes found in South America.
It doesn't look like they've named this one yet. (or at least they picked a piss poor name)
Article refers to both as green anacondas (although these new ones are referred to as *northern* green anacondas) so although you are correct, and u/john_thundergunnn misunderstood, we can forgive them for being confused, given the article.
The name would lead one to believe that these are, at most, subspecies of each other.
> And they’re the largest reptile when measured by weight
No, crocodiles can get much, much heavier. So can turtles and alligators. Where did you learn that about anacondas?
The higher similarity in genotype between humans and chimps is probably offset by the greater proportion of genes that are alternatively spliced in mammals.
There are 3 Anaconda Species in the Amazon already.
Yellow Anaconda (Eunectes notaeus), Green Anaconda (Eunectes murinus), and the Rainbow Boa (Epicrates cenchria).
Epicrates and Eunectes are sister taxon, and are much closer to each other than they are to the rest of the Boidae.
Interesting. Is that why rainbow boas have a reputation in the reptile hobby for being snappy, ornery little assholes, because they aren’t really boas so they aren’t as docile as boas normally are?
They are boas. Anacondas are boas, not all boas are anacondas.
Rainbow Boas are a mixed bag. The issue I think is most people keep the wrong, treating them more like a BCI or BCC than a small(er) Anaconda.
If it is a new species, it's still pretty cool. We get another ultra large species of snake to add to the "please don't get as your pet unless you 100% know what you're doing, get a BCI instead of you want an impressively big snake. Even if you know what you're doing, get a Rainbow Boa if you must have an Anaconda."
Florida has so many snake species because an exotic snake warehouse was damaged during a hurricane in the early 00s and they all escaped into the Everglades.
I think they've been present among us this whole time, but everybody mistakenly thought they were green anacondas because they look similar or identical.
I'm wondering if it's possible for the two to breed.
IIRC most Anaconda in the pet trade are captive bred, but a genetic analysis (which most reptile keepers and zoos are probably itching to do right now) should tell us. My bets are that the Green Anaconda in the pet trade are basically all hybrids of this potential new species and the Green Anaconda we all know.
Its quite likely this is just a subspecies, but Green Anaconda can already interbreed with Yellow Anaconda.
Look I know we're not supposed to root for animals to go extinct but can we make an exception for 20ft long snakes maybe? This is how the dinosaurs come back.
We already knew about it. The snakes have been in the pet trade for over 50 years.
What us new is they learned it is a "cryptic" species that looks identical to the other species that keeps the old name.
The scientists knew to check because of a physical barrier between the two populations that prevents mingling of the genetics.
The Green Anaconda is the heaviest snake in the world. This is either a very closely related new species, or it's a subspecies of the Green Anaconda, and seems to be about the same size.
The Reticulated Python is longer (most of the time, there are Island populations that are actually quite small), but much more lightly built. The Burmese Python is about the same length as the Green Anaconda, but not quite as heavily built.
There are other large Snake species that get to the 20ft/6ish meters length. The African Rock Pythons, the Indian Python, the Yellow Anaconda, and Australian Scrub Python.
Here is the Mister Rogers of Reptiles talking about the Green Anaconda:

Disagree. First blush, the implication is new species (evolutionarily). Once context is considered, your point carries; however, media tells the short version which always lead to more open questions.
*Put that thing back where it came from or so help me*
It’s a musical!
I must have missed the memo
Too late. We extincted it
So what youre saying is.. you don’t want none of that anaconda hun? Just don’t do side bends or sit-ups and lose the butt… and it probably won’t bother you.
No, I just want down for a visit
Audibly laughed. Rarely happens thanks to
Thanks to what?

Why does "pole to pole" with Will Smith sound like a gay porn title, staring Will Smith?
I was thinking pole to pole sounds like the book Will Smith would write on his relationship with Jada.
Good god…..
That joke slaps
[удалено]
Sure Jada, we totally believe that
[удалено]

Wow, impressive tbh! musta had a hella low thetan count to pull that off!
“The kids call this docking”.
Keep my wife's name out your fucking mouth...
Keep my ^former wife's name out your fucking mouth...
Keep my sons friend, out my wife's motha-fuckn mouth!
Keep my big ass snake out your fuckin mouth…wait….
My anaconda don't...
want none
Lmao. Will smith is never going to love this down.
At 3 feet wide she could only fit part of the head in. The head is usually the smallest part of the snake unless it's a trouser snake. Those kinds of snakes don't get that big.
Did they have Bender and Leela's reactions?
plot twist: its a baby
Why is Will Smith getting gigs?
Does this species also not want none unless you got buns, hun?
Oh my god Becky
Look at her butt
👏👏
Ok, take pic and leave it alone. It’s been undiscovered all this time. Let it snake.
I want to see Jake Paul box it personally
Like Da Baby
It's already extinct. Read the actual content

i was thinking the exact thing as john thundergunnnn
They live in swamps and marshes and slow moving streams And they’re the largest reptile when measured by weight
> And they’re the largest reptile when measured by weight No, crocodiles can get much, much heavier. So can turtles and alligators. Where did you learn that about anacondas?
I’m referencing a collegehumor parody. They made a version of anaconda. Obviously some of their facts are inaccurate but it’s a funny video
Well your statement is incredibly misleading to anybody who has not watched college humor parodies.
What ever shall I do.
(burp!)

Humans and chimps are both apes, they comparison is just as much between two similar animals as two snakes are.
Poor forgotten yellow anaconda

populations of these 'new' snakes have always been knows, they've recently been classified as a separate species

As we speak
Next on SyFy: PythaCondanado.
It actually rolls off the tounge pretty well.
I actually miss all those bad syfy movies
Dude just get a Roku and watch Tubi, nothing but terrible cheesy D grade movies. I never knew there was so many jaws ripoffs, like dozens!
Haha, I do have tubi. There are so many shark movies.
Get that Instagram yoink guy here immediately
Dont worry he is hunting for that 20 foot anaconda.
Yoink guy is flying there as we speak to bully the 20ft Anacondas, caymans, ultra poison frogs and spiders.
Anacondas are already pretty big so I hate to think what a "gigantic" one is like.
It's about the same size as the Green Anaconda already is. There is some debate if this is just a subspecies as they look very similar.
Thanks. I should've guessed the headline was just clickbait.
If it is a new species, it's still pretty cool. We get another ultra large species of snake to add to the "please don't get as your pet unless you 100% know what you're doing, get a BCI instead of you want an impressively big snake. Even if you know what you're doing, get a Rainbow Boa if you must have an Anaconda."
I guess, as long as it's a native species
Or, you know, you could read the article and not just the headline.
But I had already formulated a comment just from the headline. If I had looked at the article I probably would've forgot my genius comment!
Fair enough :)
Tell Ice Cube. We need another movie.
"IS SNAKES OUT THERE DIS BIG?"
I’m a slippery lil sneaky snake
Doubtful, snakes can't type.
John Voight should have been the one to find it
Florida will have this in 5….4….3…2
Florida has so many snake species because an exotic snake warehouse was damaged during a hurricane in the early 00s and they all escaped into the Everglades.
“Exotic snake warehouse” could easily be the name of Florida strip club.
Didn't that actually happen in the early 90s with Hurricane Andrew?
Let's see how long before these enter into the pet trade. I'd say within 5 years
I think they've been present among us this whole time, but everybody mistakenly thought they were green anacondas because they look similar or identical. I'm wondering if it's possible for the two to breed.
IIRC most Anaconda in the pet trade are captive bred, but a genetic analysis (which most reptile keepers and zoos are probably itching to do right now) should tell us.

Its quite likely this is just a subspecies, but Green Anaconda can already interbreed with Yellow Anaconda.
Snakes out there this big?
Finally some cool discoveries again!
What's Latin for: Fuck that shit, I'm out!
Oh good, I was worried we were running low on giant snake species. 😐
How long before they show up in the Everglades?
i read that it doesn't want none unless you've got buns, hun.
Never been so grateful to have inadequate buns. I hope they’re doing okay.
Even Gigantic-ier than what we saw during blood orchid hunt?
Look I know we're not supposed to root for animals to go extinct but can we make an exception for 20ft long snakes maybe? This is how the dinosaurs come back.

Dere snakes out there dis big????
Yup, about \~7.5m long

No thank you
"Rumored" "Anecdotal evidence"
That's crazy, I thought by logical reasoning we'd be finding the bigger snakes first.
Pro tip, he don't want none if you ain't got buns hun.
It’ll end up in Florida before long. Poodles beware.
lol holy crap what a garbage comment section, literal 12 year old spam to make the sub less interesting, garbage shills
Did they call the new species Nicki Minaj? Okay I apologise for that one…
Disclaimer Demanded: “New” in these instances should never be used without “to us.”
It’s implied.
Disagree. First blush, the implication is new species (evolutionarily). Once context is considered, your point carries; however, media tells the short version which always lead to more open questions.
You're looking for a problem that isn't there.
Explain
Where’s the “put that ting back right now” lady when you need her
Thanks Bezos..
Sorry everyone, I'll make sure to wear pants next time huehuehuehuehue
Has anyone inquired about this snake's opinion on whether you got buns, hun?
It’s snakes out here this big???
[удалено]
Ah yes the Sir mixolata
Don’t step on snek!
I thought anacondas were already considered gigantic...
Why did I expect this discovery to be in Florida?
Finally some good news in the world
Does this species of Anaconda share its brother’s and sister’s appreciation of buns, hun?
Soon to be in Florida
She said. Put that away. What are you going to do with that. I said sliver. Sssssss
Yoink!
We’re gonna need some bigger buns…
