"Scientists Uncover Massive New Anaconda Species in Amazon Rainforest"
Scientists from the University of Queensland have discovered a new species of snake, the northern green anaconda, in the Amazon Rainforest, which could potentially be the world's largest snake. The team made the discovery during an expedition in the Ecuadorian Amazon and encountered a female snake measuring about 20 feet long. There were also reports of even larger anacondas in the region, with some allegedly reaching nearly 25 feet in length and weighing over 1,100 pounds.
