Anaconda's are one of the world's largest & longest snake species. They are known to reach sizes of over 6.6 meters (22 feet) long on an average. Reports of Anaconda's that are nearly 35 to 40 feet long also exist, but hard evidence for such sizes is not available. They weigh an average of around 100 kilograms (220 pounds) and sometimes even more. They are usually heavier after immediate consumption of a large prey. The largest specimen was probably measured in Columbia in 1978 which was over 24 feet long and weighed over 300 pounds.

There is some speculation and a lot of sensationalizing with the answer to this question, many authorities agree between 30 ft. (9.14 m) to 33 ft. (10.05 m) is the longest, with some saying 37 ft. (11.27 m), any length above these still lack acceptable documentation and they're claims are dubious at best.

The Green Anaconda, on average anacondas are more then 20 ft (6.09 m) long with and average weight of 300+ pounds (136.08+ kg) many reaching lengths of 29ft ( 8.83 m) or more, with a weight of over 550 lbs ( 249.48 kg).

The longest Anaconda was killed by English colonel and explorer Percy Fawcett and his team, Amazon Basin, Rio Negro, in 1907. It was 62 feet long and 12 inches in diameter.
