The anaconda is the biggest genus of snake in the world. While there are four different species of anaconda, just about all of them are terrifying, and they all live in South America. Since this snake was found in Nigeria, it’s more likely that this is an African rock python. Unfortunately, if this creature grabs onto you, it’s going to be a pretty painful ending — pythons aren’t venomous, so they literally squeeze their prey to death.
