Green Anaconda at the National Zoo, Washington, DC

By
Industry Observer with Retired

Green Anaconda at the National Zoo, Washington, DC

 

Did you know that Green Anacondas are one of the largest snakes and can grow to a length of 22 feet?  You might not want to meet a Green Anaconda in the wild but you can see one on exhibit at the National Zoo in Washington, DC.

The National Zoo is one of our favorite places to visit.  Dolores and I are lucky to live in the Montgomery County, Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC and it is easy for us to plan a day trip to the zoo.  I suggest a day trip because there is much to see and do at the National Zoo.  

Many families pack a lunch and plan to spend the day and we recommend that as a good family plan.  Make sure everybody has a camera in hand to capture the special moments to be shared.  If you live in the area and can frequently visit the National Zoo, we suggest that you join FONZ, Friends of the National Zoo.  One of the FONZ benefits is free parking.

Good morning Roy.  That sir is one massive animal.  I agree that you would not want to see one in the wild,

Good morning Roy.  You are correct.  I would not want to meet a green anaconda in the wild (or any other place for that matter).

While they are fascinating to see, I am not, by any means, a snake lover regardless of the size.

Spiders I can take but any snake does me in, but a 22 foot anaconda is best viewed in your picture for me.

Oh wow, what a great shot of the Anaconda, and I love the close up of their skin pattern.  Happy 4th.  A

I sam many snakes when I visited the National  Zoo. They come in amazing colors and patterns and I am glad they are safely in containers.
