Habitat

• Do you know where the anaconda lives? It can
  live in swamps, marshes, and slow moving rivers.
  The anaconda can be found in South America. The
  anaconda can survive here because of its nostrils
  on top of its snout so it can breathe while its
  in the water.

Defense

• Do you know how the anaconda protects itself?
  One way the anaconda protects itself is by
  having a bad smell. Predators do not like it.
  Another way the anaconda protects itself is by
  hissing to scare its predator. Finally, the
  anaconda protects itself by puffing itself up.
  This scares its predator away.

  anaconda eats deer, chickens, dogs, birds and
  other reptiles. The young anaconda eats fish and
  frogs. The anaconda traps its food by wrapping
  its body around its prey. The prey dies because
  it cant breathe.
