given birth to three young. Longevity Green Anacondas in the wild live for approximately 10 years. In captivity, however, they can live up to 30 years and beyond. The current Guinness Book of World Records for the oldest living snake in captivity is a green anaconda aged 37 years 317 days when verified (14 May 2021 – Paul Swires) held by Annie the Green Anaconda, currently at Montecasino Bird & Reptile Park in Johannesburg, South Africa. In popular culture Anacondas have been portrayed in horror literature and films, often incredibly gigantic and with the ability to swallow adult humans; these traits are occasionally also attributed to other species, such as the Burmese python, the reticulated python, but with much less extend than to the green anaconda. Despite with the capability to overpower a man, there is no verified evidence of this species consuming humans, unlike the reticulated python. This is possibly because of its much less proximity to civilization since large specimen inhabits remote areas deep inside the Amazon jungle which is isolated from humans, unlike the python in Asia. Among the most popular of such films are the 1997 film Anaconda and its four sequels.
