An anaconda, one of the seven brought from the Dehiwala zoo in Sri Lanka in 2014, died at the city zoo on Monday morning.

The nine-year-old snake was crushed to death after it became entwined with other anacondas in the enclosure.

After the post-mortem examination, steps were under way to stuff it and exhibit the reptile at the Natural History Museum on the zoo and museum premises.
