A Brief Summary of the Anaconda News

This post is about "Disentangling the Anacondas: Revealing a New Green Species and Rethinking Yellows"

Please note this post is not an analysis of the veracity of this paper, it is simply a summary of the findings.

This research team performed genetic testing on known species within the Anaconda genus (Eunectes). They are suggesting two things in their paper:

Two recognized species of yellow anacondas, E. beniensis and E. deschauenseei, are not significantly genetically distinct from E. notaeus. Note that E. notaeus has a slightly different pattern/morphology while the other two are more similar and differentiated mostly by location. They propose grouping these all three as one species.

The Green Anaconda, the heaviest species of snake, with a range all across the continent, may actually be two species. They found significant genetic differences between Northern and Southern Green Anacondas and are proposing they be made into separate species.

Graphical Abstract, sourced from linked paper, showing revised taxonomy. The Northern Green Anaconda's proposed scientific named is E. akayima. Akayima means "The Great Snake" in the indigenous language of the region.

The paper points out that there are conservation implications behind redefining these species. If the Northern Green Anaconda is accepted as a separate species, habitat loss may impact it more severely than the Southern, who has a wider range. For the the opposite reason, scientists may feel reluctant to group three previously defined species into one, as it could make it more difficult to protect the subcategories.

Oh yeah, and one of the scientists who published the article posted this video of an Anaconda that's estimated to be 8 meters long and 200kg. Here's a still:

have you seen that a species of snake not seen in britain for like 10000 years has started breeding again in north wales ???? it's so cool !!!!!

Yes, and it's very interesting that they're reintegrating so easily into their old environment after such a long time!

Welcome back, Aesculapian snakes!

SMUT!!! mentions of drawing blood, and biting into one’s wrist 😭, (some blood happens but nothing crazy) coriolanus is a freak 👍🏻

18+ thinking about coriolanus who’s kinda, maybe obsessed with your neck, you’ve called him a vampire jokingly, his response was nipping at the skin of your neck. you laugh, he laughs, and you of course don’t question his behavior—after all, he’s always been a bit..odd.

it’s always jokes and laughs, you call him a vampire and he playfully nips at your wrist or your neck, you push him away and scoff, telling him to be careful or you’ll actually bleed—and god, what he would give to get even a lick of your blood, he’s well aware it’s strange—but the idea of seeing you bleed, for him specifically, well, he’s infatuated with the idea.

he slips up when he’s fucking you one night, you’re in missionary and he’s holding onto your wrist so tight you’re afraid it’ll break—he’s nudging his nose right in the middle of it, and when he feels your pussy clench right around him, he loses it for a split second and his teeth sink in.

the very first taste of your blood has him whimpering and his hips staggering. ‘’Oh—oh—shit..fuck..ngghh..’’ he’s trying so hard to stop, but when your blood tastes like his very own drug he’s afraid he’s absolutely fucked, how is he ever supposed to be around you now? he can’t even bother to feel disgusted, the sight of you laying there, pupils blown wide and mouth agape—he needs you carnally.

he’s looking at you as if you just stole every star in the sky and gave it to him in a pretty red box. ‘’fuck- coryo, what?’’ he’s quickly shushing you, nuzzling against your neck now, ‘’shh..don’t worry darling..you gave me everything I needed, just..let me take care of you now, okay?’’ and when you look at him again, his eyes hold a sense of craze and desire you’ve never seen before—you’re not sure if you’re scared, you’re not sure what you’re feeling at all, but with the gentleness coriolanus is handling you with at this current moment, you don’t think you even care.
