The largest recorded anaconda ever found is a matter of debate due to unreliable reports and limited scientific evidence. While there have been numerous claims of massive anacondas exceeding 30 feet (9 meters) or even 40 feet (12 meters) in length, these reports lack conclusive evidence. The Guinness World Records recognizes the largest confirmed anaconda specimen to be approximately 25 feet (7.6 meters) long.

In 2016, an anaconda measuring about 17.1 feet (5.2 meters) long and weighing around 98 kilograms (215 pounds) was captured in Brazil, making it one of the largest verified specimens. However, it's important to note that anacondas' size can vary depending on factors such as their habitat, food availability, and genetics.

Due to the elusive nature of these snakes and the challenges associated with accurate measurement in the wild, the exact size of the largest anaconda remains a subject of speculation and conjecture.

The most commonly cited and widely recognized measurement is from an anaconda specimen found in 1944 in the Brazilian Amazon. This specimen, known as the "Medusa" anaconda, was said to measure about 7.67 meters (25.2 feet) in length. However, it's important to note that the measurement and existence of even larger anacondas have been subject to skepticism and lack scientific confirmation. Anacondas are known to be capable of reaching impressive sizes, but exact measurements of extremely large individuals can be challenging to obtain.

The largest recorded anaconda ever found was a green anaconda found in Brazil in 2011. It was measured at 29 feet and 10 inches long, and weighed in at 550 pounds.

The largest anaconda was reportedly 33 feet long and 3 feet across at its wider part, and weighed about 880 lbs. It was discovered at a construction site in Brazil. It is also reported that people were not able to properly measure or record the biggest anaconda to lend credence to reported size. 

There are other reports of supposed record breaking anacondas without proper citations or proof. One claim suggests that the longest, heaviest snake ever found was 27.7 ft. long, girth of 3 ft. and weight over 500 lbs.

The largest of all these variants is green anaconda. An average green anaconda can reach about 20 ft. in length and can weigh 200-300 lbs.

The largest recorded anaconda ever found was reportedly measured at around 28 feet (8.5 meters) long. However, it is important to note that specific measurements of anacondas in the wild can be challenging, and there have been claims of even longer specimens. Anacondas are among the largest snakes in the world, and while they can reach impressive lengths, precise measurements can be difficult due to their elusive nature and dense habitat.

The largest anaconda ever found, based on reported and confirmed measurements, was approximately 28.7 feet (8.7 meters) long. This record-breaking anaconda was discovered in 2016 in the Xingu River in the Brazilian Amazon. It was captured and measured by a team of researchers and wildlife experts.


It's important to note that claims of exceptionally large anacondas are often met with skepticism, and accurate measurements can be challenging in the dense and remote habitats where these snakes are typically found. While the 28.7-foot anaconda is one of the largest reliably measured specimens, there have been numerous reports of much larger anacondas, some of which have been widely circulated in the media. However, these accounts often lack proper documentation and scientific verification.

Green anacondas (Eunectes murinus) are the largest snake species in terms of weight and girth and are known to inhabit the swamps and slow-moving rivers of the Amazon and Orinoco basins in South America. These powerful constrictors primarily feed on large prey such as capybaras, deer, and other animals found in their aquatic habitats.
