Really my only half-decent photo of this species. Its pretty different than my other work in that I actually show that the animal is in an enclosure but I feel having that context makes the way its leaning right on the glass more impactful.

This exhibit holds a female green anaconda and has a glass divider in the corner allowing for viewing into the adjacent howler monkey and golden lion tamarin mixed species exhibit. It also has an underwater crawl space for guests to view the animal from down below.
