Description

When: December 9, 2019

Where: GaiaZOO Kerkrade, The Netherlands


Anacondas fare quite well in the water. In a different zoo, where they have a few, they often curl up in the water. It was no surprise to see this one go down into the water either.

It offered up a very nice opportunity to get creative. I immediately noticed the reflection and wanted to see if I could get that on camera I think it turned out in a rather fun way


Species: Green Anaconda (Waterboa of groene anaconda)

Latin name: Eunectes Murinus

Originates from South America.

 Did you know: 

…The Green Anaconda’s Latin name was derived from its good swimming skills, and love for mice – not because he’s supposedly the color of a mouse.

…It counts as the heaviest known Snake species.

…When one says “Anaconda”, people mostly refer to this kind.

I love snakes, which makes me part of the minority.
An Anaconda is one of those snakes, I don’t want to cross.
You nailed the photo M and D!
