Question

What is the different between Anaconda and Cobra?

Answer 1

As with any animal, be it with anaconda snakes, snakes , among other wild ones. There is a big difference between a lion and a tiger. The tiger is faster and is way more agile than most lions in the jungle. The lion is most of the time stronger and has more strenght to keep figthing when it’s hurt. Obviously, the same goes with a garter cobra with the difference of an anaconda.

cobra can virtually eat any small thing they manage to have on their side and anaconda snakes can’t eat a cockroach. it’s just to small. So what are some differences between regular cobras and such scary creeatures called Ancondas?

Well for starters depending the growth of the reptile, the diet becomes different. A simple search in this website for a picture between the giant reptile hunted in lenght of 70 feets and the lenght of a cobra snake of 20 feet, is a big difference. I nother facts, some of the snakes will also have different types of preys.

If the prey is too small for an Anaconda, it would be very likely she will need to hunt for additional food again. Not in a few hours, thinking more of a few days. One of the top favorites for them are mammals. In the next post, you will see some interesting images live on video on how this giant reptile behaves when he needs to feed himself for survival in the wild :))))))

Answer 6

anacondas constrict their prey and they are not venomous, they have no fangs just sharp needle like teeth, they are very powerful snakes and grow huge (18-20 feet on average)

cobras are venomous and have fangs, do not constrict their prey, they have a hood as a defence mechanism which makes them look big they grow to 3.9-8.2 feet long on average, depending on the sub species.

Answer 7

An anaconda is a type of constrictor.  It squeezes it's prey and cuts off the blood circulation and makes it suffocate due to the squeeze.  A common misconception is that it kills its prey by crushing it, but it would take tremendous force for this to occur.  There have been cases, however where the prey will have a couple of broken bones, but it would depend on the size of the prey as well.  Some can grow extremely thick and long.

A cobra is a venomous snake that has a "hood" around its head and is commonly know as the snake that dances to the music pipe blowers in the middle east.  it is much smaller than an anaconda, but its venom is highly toxic.  I believe it has a neurotoxin, which attacks the nervous system of its prey, essentially shutting its body down.

Answer 8

anacondas are fat and long!!!!!!!

cobras are small but very scary and rough

Answer 9

They are different species in different families - there are many differences between them.

There are two species of anaconda, the green anaconda (Eunectes murinus) and the yellow anaconda (Eunectes notaeus). They are constrictors, meaning that they kill their prey by seizing it in their teeth and coiling their bodies around it, tightening their coils each time the prey breathes out until it can no longer draw breath and suffocates. Both species give birth to live young. They are powerful, heavy-bodied snakes - the green anaconda is the largest snake in the world, reaching lengths of up to 10 metres and weighing up to 550lb.

There are many different species of cobra, for example the Indian cobra (Naja naja) and king cobra (Ophiophagus hannah), which is the largest venomous snake in the world, reaching lengths of up to 5.5 metres. They kill their prey by injecting it with venom, which is basically highly modified saliva. Cobras have fixed fangs (unlike the hinged fangs of vipers and pit vipers) - these are two long, hollow teeth at the front of the upper jaw, through which the venom flows from the venom glands into whatever the snake is biting. Having venom with which to kill their prey naturally means they do not need to be as muscular as constrictors, so they are more slender in appearance, and they have elongated ribs along the neck which they can fan outwards into the famous hood as a warning. They lay eggs.

Answer 10

Anaconda are the largest constrictor and kill their prey by wrapping their coils around them.  Cobras kill with venom and are much smaller but king cobras are very large snakes.  Anacondas only live in South America.  Cobras live in tropical Asia and throughout Africa.

Answer 11

cobras have non toxic poison but anacondas haven't.

Answer 12

Haven't you seen the movie Anaconda. Anaconda is atleast 20 times bigger than Cobra.  Cobra is one of the deadly poisonous in the snake family. Anaconda eats its pray in full by applying its might and power,  whereas the cobra first bite the pray kills by it's poison and then eat.

Answer 13

Cobra is a very poisness snake whereas Anaconda is non-poisness but it is so big and powerfull that it suffocates its prey by squeezing it in its powerfull muscles and when the prey dies due to loss of breathing,it galps it.
