Trail 8 - Watch out for Anthony the Anaconda!

Anthony the Anaconda is the world's biggest snake.

He eats other animals which he catches by squeezing them to death. Anacondas have been known to kill humans, so be careful you don't step on him!

Like all snakes, he is a REPTILE. Reptiles are COLD-BLOODED which means that his body temperature is the same as his surroundings.

AMPHIBIANS are also cold-blooded.

An amphibian is an animal that can live in water and on the land. Lizards, snakes, frogs, crocodiles and turtles are some of the types of amphibians that you can find in rainforests.

The Jesus Christ lizard has a very special talent. He can actually run on water! Jesus Christ lizards have very long tails which help them to run very quickly. These lizards perform this impressive feat when chasing prey or escaping danger.
