In the season six premiere of "River Monsters," Animal Planet's best performing series ever, host Jeremy Wade set out to find an anaconda possibly responsible for the recent death of a man - and many others gone missing.

The 58-year-old British adventurer was attracted to the area around Porto de Moz, Brazil after a deceased man was found with massive bruises on his neck and torso and numerous crushed bones in his body. Numerous other people from the town had also gone missing under mysterious circumstances. After diving into the Amazon River in search of the suspected culprit, Wade came upon a massive anaconda he believed likely responsible for the deaths.

"Look at the size of this! I've stumbled into a potential man-eater," Wade exclaims in the episode, estimating the snake's length at 20 feet and weighing close to 200 pounds. "It's terrifying being this close to an anaconda that could seize me in a flash and then crush me to death."

Check out video of Wade's close-up with the giant snake below. "River Monsters," recently renewed for a seventh season, airs on Animal Planet Sundays at 9PM ET.

( BDN) -- Last night, after BDN Portland first revealed that the massive snakeskin found in Westbrook this month belonged to an anaconda, the Texas scientist who ran genetic testing on the skin reached out with an update: The skin came from a green, not a yellow anaconda.

"So, the bigger species, the one that gets 20-30 feet," John Placyk, a University of Texas, Tyler herpetologist, wrote in an email.

Using the private dataset of a colleague who has devoted his life to studying the world's largest species of snake, Placyk was able to identify the skin with greater specificity than the public genetics library maintained by the U.S. government had allowed.

There is no definitive link between the anaconda snake skin and the various sightings this summer of a large snake slithering around the Presumpscot River and chowing down on what might have been a beaver. But since the snake spotted by residents and police in Westbrook has displayed behavior characteristic of a green anaconda, we thought we'd share some facts about the massive snakes.

By weight, green anacondas are the largest snakes in world although some pythons can grow to be longer. The snakes can grow to be between 20 and 30 feet and weigh up to 550 pounds, according to National Geographic. Females usually grow larger, but the size of the South American species is often stretched and researchers believe most reports of 40 foot plus anacondas are just big snake stories. Anacondas captured in the plains of Venezuela likely top out around 17 feet long, according to research conducted by noted herpetologist Jesús Rivas, whom lent Placyk his data set. But the researcher also noted that larger snakes lurk in more remote areas.

Green anacondas are not venomous, although they do have a serious bite. Their main method of killing prey is constriction. The snakes coil their long, muscular bodies around the animal they plan to eat and gradually squeeze until it asphyxiates. They then stretch their jaws and swallow the animal whole, no matter its size. Large anacondas have been known to eat birds, turtles, large lizards wild pigs, deer and even jaguars. And in case that diet isn't enough green anacondas are also known to engage in cannibalism.

They're quick in the water

Hulking anacondas are ungainly on land and Placyk said film depictions of them swinging from trees - like in the "Anaconda" film series - are utterly unrealistic. But they are strong swimmers and are able to move swiftly through the water soon after birth.

They're skittish

Unless you recently watched "Anaconda 3: Offspring," an anaconda is likely to be more worried about you than you are about it. "In my experience of catching hundreds of anacondas of all sizes, I have found that large individuals are very unlikely to attack when disturbed ... Large individuals in water tend to swim away," wrote Rivas in his doctoral dissertation.

They like it hot

Like all snakes, the green anaconda is cold blooded. They are native to a large stretch of northern South America and ill adapted to Maine's cold climate. If there is one loose in Westbrook, Placyk said it likely won't survive even through late fall. "Once temps start floating around 50 for a sustained period, it will most likely die in short order," he said.

These amazing pictures show the epic battle as a giant anaconda snake takes on member of the crocodile family in a fight to the death.

The green Anaconda attacked the two-metre Caiman, near the town of Los Llanos, Venezuela, finding it in the swamps of the jungle where both species live.

The unsuspecting Caimam, a relative of crocodiles and alligators, is approached from below by the giant snake, which procedes to wrap it's powerful body around the reptile and slowly squeeze it to death.

Squeezing the life out of animals is the preferred method of the anaconda - a close relative of the boa constrictor - for hunting, as it has no poison.

Having subdued its victim the snake then takes on the long process of consuming the large caiman. With an elastic-like jaw that allows it to open its mouth almost vertically the snake has the ability to swallow animals much wider than it, but it takes a lot of time to swallow the caiman.

After finally finishing off its meal the snake usually finds a place to rest and digest it.

Anaconda vs caiman struggles are well documented and it can often be the case that the caiman emerges victorious if it can get its teeth into the snake's body.
