This discovery challenges the previous understanding of anacondas in the amazon, as researchers have identified the Northern Green Anaconda as a distinct species from the commonly known Giant Anaconda. The genetic analysis revealed a substantial 5.5 % difference in genes between this newfound species and other anacondas. This significant genetic divergence is analogous to the distinction between humans and chimpanzees, highlighting the unique nature of the Northern Green Anaconda.
The scientific community has officially designated this newly identified anaconda as Eunectes akaima, emphasizing its separate classification from the previously known anaconda species. The finding underscores the incredible biodiversity present in the amazon Rainforest and offers valuable insights into the diverse and complex ecosystems of this vital natural environment.
