Researchers claim to have discovered a new species of reptile in the Amazon. But their conclusions are highly contested by some scientists.

The reptile, which can reach 8.5 meters in length, 230 kg and almost a meter in circumference, was already known, but under the name of a single species. To date, 4 distinct species of anaconda are known: green, Bolivian, yellow and dark-spotted.. The images from the upcoming documentary series Pole to Pole with Will Smith that will appear on Disney+ will most likely be spectacular.
