Congratulations Jonathan, your anaconda is our Spotting of the Day:
"Would you have spotted it? It moves! With its dark olive-brown background color, this Green Anaconda (Eunectes murinus) goes almost unnoticed in the Peruvian forest in our Spotting of the Day. The green anaconda, the heaviest extant snake in the world, is primarily known as an aquatic species, and is cumbersome on land. It will however occasionally climbs trees and bushes using its prehensile tail. This shot allows to appreciate that the green anaconda's head is relatively small compared to its thick body".
