Gigantic new snake species discovered in Amazon rainforest

A team from the University of Queensland found several of the massive reptiles. They even came across a female anaconda more than 20 feet long.

RIP sweet girl :( She lived decades in the wild. Was found dead 5 weeks after discovery. So sad

This snake looks longer than 20 feet and really thick.

Dude is as comfortable under water as he is on land. And the snake's not doing too bad either.

This is the kind of stuff that gets you killed in scary movies. "Well let's stick our heads by it's mouth and see!" 😶🤣

It's not new, it's always been there

[rkrldhq]

20 feet is a common length for pythons and anacondas. Nothing special here

[rommelrommel]

they treat it like it's some fast food mascot

[hordegaming]

Ugh, that's a green anaconda with a different pattern it's not a new snake at all the water will make it difficult to see look up green anaconda, that's what it is

They are probably like what the hell? Food later?

[lakeb]

It could be a cross breed, yet it's been known to happen in nature

[oredrub]

What about the person filming right in front of it

[thsklod]

But 20ft is not that long or you want to say 20meters

[umdisc]

If it’s because of size then that’s not a new species. Jesus, these reporters. It has been well documented from long time ago that anacondas can reach up to 30 feet in length.

Oh my God you know moma don't like no dam snakes

[asmsis]

This man is delicious but I am not hungry

[theartsypixie]

Think we can get some of these for the Rio Grande? Just curious 🤔
