Adult snakes can exceed 8 meters (26 feet) and weigh over 200 kg (440 lbs).
On October 20, 2025, a tragic event occurred in the Loreto region of Peru, near the border with Ecuador. A community member was fatally attacked by a giant anaconda while performing daily tasks in the dense Amazon rainforest. Despite the efforts of fellow villagers using sticks and machetes to rescue him, the snake's strength was overwhelming, and the man succumbed to severe internal injuries caused by the constriction. The incident was witnessed by others, and images captured by locals highlight the snake's enormous size and the community's desperate attempts to help.
