Sucuriju/Sucuriju Gigante

The Sucuriju is a cryptid from the jungles of South America. Its name means “giant anaconda” or “giant boa.” It’s described as a massive green anaconda measuring between 45-130 feet in length. It’s described as dark brown in color with black rings and oval spots along its body. Several supposed pictures of Sucuriju eating bulls have appeared, though none have been confirmed. Colonel Percy Fawcett supposedly encountered one that was estimated to be 62-feet-long and 1 foot in diameter.
