The fire service was reportedly called after residents of the village spotted the huge snake. Firemen managed to capture the anaconda and put it in a cage to be transported away from the village. In the photos, 13 firemen can be seen holding the incredibly long snake out in front of them and another snap shows them moving the snake into the cage. The snake reportedly measured 16 feet in length with the average anaconda measuring 12 feet in length and the largest ever captured measuring 18 feet, according to some reports, although some reports claim much larger anacondas exist too. Local media report the snake was released onto the banks of the Pardo river near the city of Riberao Preto, also in the city of Sao Paulo. The common anaconda (Eunectes murinus) is known as the largest snake in the world by weight and the second longest.

Primarily aquatic, anacondas eat a wide variety of prey, almost anything they can manage to overpower, including fish, birds, a variety of mammals, and other reptiles. Particularly large anacondas may consume large prey such as tapirs, deer, capybaras, caimans, and even jaguars, but such large meals are not regularly consumed. They employ constriction to subdue their prey.

Anacondas live in swamps, marshes, and slow-moving streams, mainly in the tropical rainforests of the Amazon and Orinoco basins. They are cumbersome on land, but stealthy and sleek in the water.
