A genus of large semi-aquatic snakes native to South America, commonly known as anacondas.
From Greek eu- (εὖ 'well') + nektes (νέκτης 'swimmer'), literally 'good swimmer'; coined as the scientific genus name for these powerful swimming snakes.
The green anaconda (Eunectes murinus) is the heaviest snake on Earth—a 550-pound specimen was once found, and they can stay underwater for up to 10 hours.
