I spoke with Shaun at the Milwaukee County Zoo a couple of years ago and he told me that they acquired this male from the Bronx Zoo (New York Zoological Park) years ago when he was about 5 to 6 feet. The Bronx Zoo and their anaconda expert William Holmstrom have produced more greens than any zoo in the world. Unfortunately Shaun's records did not show an acquisition date, so he was not sure of the age. He said that the male was then between 11.5 and 12 feet if I remember correctly. Definitely a very large male, and probably a few inches over 12 feet by now. Thanks,
Kelly
