Watch: Dubai gets region's first anacondas as two giant snakes arrive

Two giant anacondas have slithered their way to the UAE all the way from south America. The yellow anacondas are one of the largest snakes in the world.

The four-metre snakes have been housed at the Green Planet in City Walk.

Easily the world's most recognisable snake, the reptile can be observed closely in the four-storey biodome's recently-renovated 'nocturnal walkthrough area'. Other nocturnal roaming residents in the area include a prehencile porcupine, armadillos, tamandua anteaters, Burmese pythons, and forest scorpions, among others.
