The northern green anaconda (Eunectes akayima) is a disputed boa species found in northern South America and the Caribbean island of Trinidad. It is closely related to Eunectes murinus, the (southern) green anaconda, from which it was claimed to be genetically distinct in 2024. It is one of the heaviest and longest snakes in the world, with confirmed specimens measuring up to 6.3 metres (21 ft) long. Like all boas, it is a non-venomous constrictor. | Critters Of The World & Southern Outdoor Educ
