Mixed reactions, as report shows female Anaconda strangles & eats their male after mating, to survive during pregnancy

Some people have taken to Twitter to react after learning what the female Anaconda does to their male after mating.

Several sources including the National Geography has revealed that the female Anaconda strangles and possibly eats their male counterparts after mating, so they can survive in seven months of fasting during the pregnancy. This phenomenon is generally referred to as sexual cannibalism.

Unlike other animals, Scientists have observed that female snakes especially Anaconda are 4.7 times larger than males and they are physically imposing, so it is not surprising that they can overpower – and even swallow – their males after courtship.
