The movie contains many errors about the behavior of the snake, from its speed to an outright untruth about disgorging freshly-caught prey simply to hunt again. In fact, most snakes do this after being frightened or startled and feel the need to get away quickly. In addition, one scene of the movie wrongly portrayed new-born anacondas as less than 12 inches long when in reality, they are two feet long when born, and quite capable of swimming away from danger rather than biting it.
