Hi,

Does anyone have, or know where to find, photos of or information on the "other" anaconda species -- Deschauense's anaconda (E. Deschauenseei), and the Barbour's anaconda? I read about them awhile ago but have been unable to find any information on them.

No real reason for wondering; I was just sort of curious as they never seem to get mentioned.

Thanks,

However, E. barbouri does not exist. It was removed from toxonomy reconrds since it is no different than E. murinus. The bolivian species Eunectes beniensis does exist and you can find photos of E. benienis and E. deschauenseii on Dirksens site. I will post a translated link below here. Here you will find all the info you need about all species of anaconda with full scale counts, ranges, what is knows about sizes, and so on.

It's interesting -- when I ran a search for "anaconda species," nothing came up except the yellow and green. I wonder why no one else seems to be studying the other two species?

typing anaconda species is in english and you limit research to publications in english. Most of the best information is done by people outside the united states and englsh speaking countries. If you want to find something on an animal your best bet is to run a search using the scientific name. This is accepted by the world.

Hmm...

That's a good point -- typing "anaconda species" definitely is limiting to English pages. But if an English-speaking anaconda site really wanted to be thorough, wouldn't they also include the other two anaconda species, or at least mention them?

Plus, I could have sworn my second search was for the scientific name. Maybe I'm just using a crappy search engine.

Thanks again,
