1. Anaconda Hanging From A Branch Coloring PDF
Anacondas like to loop around branches, and you have to watch your head if navigating a South American jungle! Some anaconda species can weigh as much as 550 pounds, so they would need to find a pretty strong branch to support their weight!
2. Anaconda Mandala Pattern
Not only is this anaconda mandala pattern beautiful, it will also present a coloring challenge for you. Mandalas are tricky to color at the best of times, but the twisty shape of this snake makes it even trickier. If you use some colored pens or pencils and take it slowly, then I’m sure you will do an excellent job.
3. Anaconda On A Tree Branch
Something I didn’t know until recently is that anacondas are primarily aquatic snakes that spend a lot of time in the water. Smaller anacondas will sometimes climb trees and coil around branches like this one. They do this to catch food or to rest for a while before getting back in the water.
4. Anaconda On A Tree Branch
We’ve covered that green anacondas can weigh a lot, but how long can they get? They can grow up to 30 feet long, making them one of the longest snakes in the world. They’re not quite the longest, though, as reticulated pythons have been known to grow even longer.
5. Anaconda In Tall Grass
Anacondas have to be a bit stealthier than some other snake species. Snakes with potent venom need to be quick in order to strike their prey. Anacondas do bite their prey, but only to keep them in place so that they can wrap their strong bodies around them.
6. Anaconda Hunting A Capybara
Because of their size, anacondas can hunt a wide range of larger creatures. This scene shows one going after a capybara, the world’s largest rodent. They also hunt things like deer, tapirs, and other large mammals that stray near the water’s edge.
7. Cartoon Anaconda In A Swamp
You can call anacondas many things, but cute is not a word I would normally use to describe them! This cartoon anaconda is an exception, though, as it’s rather adorable.
8. Anaconda In The Rain
Many animals will rush to escape the rain, but anacondas feel right at home in it. They spend a lot of time in the water anyway, so they’re not afraid to get wet. Anacondas have some special evolutionary traits, such as nostrils on top of their heads, which allow them to stay mostly submerged while still able to breathe.
9. Anaconda Moving Across The Jungle
If you ever find yourself navigating a jungle in South America, you'd better watch your step to make sure you don’t step on an anaconda like this one!
10. Anaconda Near A Waterfall Coloring Sheet
Anacondas are often found near bodies of water like rivers and waterfalls, as they can stay in the water to wait for prey. They can be a scary sight, but you probably don’t need to be too afraid. While attacks on humans aren’t unheard of, they are exceptionally rare.
11. Anaconda Resting On A Riverbank
This jungle riverbank has a big anaconda patrolling the shore. If it were to go underwater, it would be able to stay submerged for a while, as they can hold their breath for around 10 minutes.
12. Anaconda Slithering Out Of A Cave
Anacondas aren’t found in caves very often, but it wouldn’t be impossible to encounter one if you were spelunking. All I know is that if I encountered an anaconda in a cave, I’d be out of there in an instant!
13. Anaconda Slithering Through Muddy Water
Anacondas aren’t averse to getting a little dirty, as they love to be in swampy, wet areas. You could use some brown paint to make this anaconda look a bit muddy.
14. Anaconda Swimming In A River
When we go for a swim, it’s usually to cool off and have a fun time, but anacondas usually swim in order to patrol for their latest meal. This anaconda does seem to be enjoying its swim, though.
15. Anaconda Underwater With Fish
Anacondas don’t limit their hunting to land animals, as they will often catch fish while submerged underwater. They don’t even need a fishing pole or lures!
16. Anaconda Wrapped Around A Log
While they’re very comfortable in the water, anacondas do need to escape the water sometimes, especially when there is flooding in the jungle. Clinging to a branch or a log can be a great way to escape these floods.
17. Cartoon Anaconda Curled Up
This cartoon anaconda is actually kind of cute! Some brave people have even tried to keep them as pets, but this is generally not recommended.
18. Giant Anaconda Striking
I’d be terrified if I saw this anaconda in a jungle! Part of why anacondas have such a reputation was that they were used as a threat in the 1997 film Anaconda starring Jennifer Lopez.
19. Realistic Anaconda Close-Up
This anaconda is ready for its close-up, and you can color the scale details in lots of interesting ways!
20. Two Anacondas On A Riverbank Coloring Page
Two anacondas are certainly more intimidating than one. While anacondas are native to South America, green anacondas are occasionally spotted in Florida, raising concerns that they may become an invasive species.After You Color Your Anaconda Pages
