What do you do when you find a 15 foot long snake in your pond?


Pick it up and move it of course
February 2013. Marie-France Grenouillet, a wildlife photographer, has sent us a couple of her holiday snaps she took on a recent trip to Colombia.

While staying at the Juan Solito Lodge, some local fisherman spotted this 5 metre anaconda near their regular fishing pool in the Hato La Aurora reserve. The fishermen decided that they would feel safer if the snake was a little further away, so they picked it up, and moved it to a more suitable pool in the middle of the reserve.

The green anaconda is the largest species of anaconda and can grow up to 17 feet long and weigh as much as 100 kilograms. They are mostly aquatic and nocturnal, and will eat a range of prey from deer, tapir and capybara to caiman, birds and fish.
