Peruvian wildlife is amazing. They have everything from huge anacondas to beautiful leopards In the tropics.Leopards are quick, agile cats that are about the size of a St.Bernard. They are very strong and are excellent climbers. They kill with their massive jaws and huge claws.
Anacondas are called constrictors. They still Have teeth(and pretty big ones at that.) but because they are constrictors, they have no venom. They are called constrictors because they use their large, muscled body to wrap around a creature's neck, strangle them and eat them whole. Sometimes, anacondas even eat mammals as large as deer! Not very fun looking.
