An eagle would win a fight against a snake. That's not true of every eagle and every snake. For example, a golden eagle is not going to kill a reticulated python or an anaconda. However, eagles are very good at killing average snakes, even the deadliest ones.
The main predators of anacondas are large mammals, such as jaguars, pumas, and caimans. These animals will often eat young anacondas, but adult anacondas are too large to be eaten by most predators.
Records also exist of bighorn sheep, coyotes, bobcats, and foxes being killed. Occasionally, golden eagles kill calves, sheep, or goats. However, attacks on animals that weigh more than 30 to 40 pounds (14 to 18 kg) are uncommon.
At the top of the food chain, adult anacondas have no natural predators. The biggest threat to their survival is human fear; many anacondas are killed by people worried that the enormous snake will attack. They are also hunted for their skin, which is turned into leather or used as decoration.
Eagles can easily kill a snake, by using their strong talons and sharp beak, however, this will depend on the size of the bird, as well as the size of the snake.

Anaconda vs Crocodile: Power and Teeth
Their crushing power is immense: 90 PSI. That's more than enough to crush a human to death, and this power is used on much larger creatures including deer. Crocodiles have the strongest measured bite at 3,700 PSI.
We're incredibly lucky to have Mrs Dashwood at Adelaide Zoo as she makes up one of only ten of her species living in Australia and is the only Green Anaconda in South Australia. Next time you're at Adelaide Zoo, make sure to slither into the Reptile House and welcome Mrs Dashwood to her new home.
1: If you are attacked by an Anaconda, do not run. The snake is faster than you are. Don't try to outrun it.
Bald Eagle
Though their diet consists mainly of fish, bald eagles have the strength to lift small deer and calves up to eight pounds with their massive talons.
Eagles pose little risk to healthy adult wolves but they could easily grab unguarded, young pups with their powerful feet and talons. Wolves can rarely catch cautious eagles. The bald eagle is the national bird of the United States.
Males weigh an average of 10 pounds while females clock in closer to 20 pounds. Their rear talons are 3 to 4 inches long – the same length as a grizzly bear's claws. They have a grip strength of appproximately 530 psi – more than enough to crush the human skull & squash your brain like a grape.
An anaconda would win a fight against a king cobra. This outcome assumes that both of these creatures met in an open area that doesn't allow an ambush to happen.
One might think a giant snake such as a reticulated python or anaconda would be likely to defeat an elephant, but that's not true. Neither of them has the strength to kill elephants. This is where the king cobra comes in.
Green anacondas are one of the largest snakes in the world. Reports of anaconda attacks on humans are rare, but these boas can take down large prey, including jaguars.
Prior studies determined that the anaconda's possible crush force is 90 pounds per square inch. That's comparable to an elephant sitting on your chest.
You're not going to have any air - you'll suffocate. Provided you do have air, then what happens is that the acid and the enzymes will start to digest you, and it's hard to say how long this would take to actually kill you.
Constriction could cause circulatory arrest, he said, but anacondas crush capybaras, peccaries, and deer with such force that they sometimes break their prey's bones.
The scrub python is found throughout the tropical rainforests of far north Queensland, Papua New Guinea and Indonesia. They are the largest snake species to call Australia home. They can reach up to 8 metres (26 feet) long and weigh in excess of 25 kilograms (55 pounds)!
Introduction. Liasis dubudinala is the largest snake known from Australia, estimated to have been about 9 metres in length. The only known specimen of Liasis dubudinala was found at Bluff Downs in northeastern Queensland, and is Pliocene in age (about 4.5 million years old).
Introducing the most venomous snake in the world and epic predator of the Australian outback! The inland taipan is otherwise known as the fierce snake or small scaled snake.
Even in the cases of a large anaconda, a gorilla is so powerful that it would probably crush the anaconda's skull and end the threat before the anaconda could completely wrap around it. Gorillas are fast and ferocious in combat, so it's hard for a snake to take them by surprise and meaningfully attack them.
