Sucuri Gigante ("Giant Sucuri", "Giant Boa", or Anaconda), is an elusive giant snake, a constrictor, claimed to be a sub-species of the common Green Sucuri, or Anaconda ''(Eunectes murinus)'', but some scientific speculation has proposed that it could be a descendant of the ''Gigantophis'', a large snake from the Eocene period, (58 million to 34 million years BPE) that could reach 33 feet (10.7 m) in length. ==Description== In Brazil, along with several other areas in South America, the common Anaconda is called Sucuri. While no definitive proof exists of Sucuri Gigante, it is speculated to reach lengths of 40 meters, grow to 80 centimeters around, and weigh up to a massive 5 tons. Some tribes from the Amazon speak of Sucuri Gigante as the Anaconda, referring to it as the creator of the Amazon River. It is also referred to as "Mysterious Beast" and "Controller", as it is said to control the areas of the rivers it inhabits. ==References== # Dr. Heuvelmans', Bernard, "On the Track of Unknown Animals" # Dinsdale, Tim, "Monster Hunt" 1972 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sucuriju Gigante」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
