Anaconda Hunting for Food

What happens when a female anaconda gets hungry? Bad things if you’re one of the capybara nearby. Capybara are the largest rodent in the world but they don’t stand much of a chance when they come up against these huge snakes as seen in this remarkable video. They might be non-venomous but it doesn’t matter much when they can coil around their prey and crush them to death before swallowing them whole. This large meal is important for the female anaconda as it won’t eat again until after the mating process, 7 months later.
