Anacondas will arrive in Madras.












The anaconda, world's largest snake and the symbol of terror in thrillers set in the Amazon jungles, will soon give dharshans in Chennai. How else can I say as I forsee thousands of people pay up and wait in long queues to have a look at Annaconda.

The several decades old Crocodile Bank is going become the home for these giant snakes.

The two juvenile anacondas from Protivin Crocodile Zoo in the Czech Republic are expected to arrive as soon as the Central Zoo Authority gives its consent to import, says Soham Mukherjee, assistant curator of the crocodile bank.

I don't think these exotic creatures will like the Madras heat. I request the concerned authorities to spare them the sufferings.

Trivia:
Do you know that the name 'anaconda' was derived from the Tamil world 'anaikkonda' which means having a grip over an elephant?

Amusing! But definitely a long shot.
