It was thought that there was only one species of green anaconda in the wild, the Eunectes murinus, but the scientific journal Diversity this month revealed that the new "northern green anaconda" belongs to a different, new species, Eunectes akiyama.

Expected this to be Paul Rosalie. I remain hopeful that we'll continue to witness larger and larger specimens.
