"'They’re five-and-a-half percent different, genetically. Now, to put that into context, we’re about two percent different from chimps,'" When you think about it that way, and the fact that experts can't really tell them apart, does make you wonder what and how the divergence worked out. Surely it has to be more than just different genitalia.

All animals are a product of their environments. Keep looking. The more advanced genetics become, the more divergences are going to be found.

Amazing discovery.

Only problem is that there have been THREE separate species of Green Anaconda recorded for at least the last 10 years.

The third identified one is very rare, but definitely separate to the two more common ones.
