Constrictors only constrict the living. There should be no body heat from a zombie to attract it. Also, the thing about constrictors is that they work by suffocation. Zombies don't breath. If they did constrict and eat a zombie it could just eat its way out. Also, how many zombies could an anaconda eat?
Someone else picked a spitting cobra which would I guess blind a zombie, but I'm not sure if zombies use their sense of sight. In a lot of media it's an odor thing. (Like in WD when they covered themselves in guts to get through a horde.)
Don't get me wrong, I think it'll be more effective than, say, a mosquito. I just think that there might have been a more effective option on the board.
Anyways, the only reason that I was up for my pick was because there was a fire department situation going on at work. It's been resolved now so I'm going back to bed. Hopefully I can unclench and fall back asleep. I hate these middle of the night emergency calls.

we are getting deep into the final round here, but I’ll defend it anyways.
Our anaconda is going to clock in at about 25 feet long and around 300 - 350 pounds. Beyond the intimidation factor and comfort it would bring me to have a massive menacing snake on my team, it would be useful for a couple reasons. We aren’t going to have the ‘conda spend 20 minutes squeezing a zombie. They also have very powerful bite. Thats what we will rely on here. That long of a snake can be used to begin slowing a zombie at a comfortable distance which is key. And if a stray zombie or two does make it past our bigs, the anaconda can full on body one without poison unlike any most things left on the board and a lot of animals that have been selected.
I'm taking the California Condor, also known as the Raptor or Andean Condor. It's massive, it flies so it can go scout the situation ahead and report back (yes, my animals talk to me), and it literally eats dead flesh making it's appetite for zombies insatiable. Plus it can use it's talons and massive beak to peck brains and eyes and stuff, rendering the zombies useless.
(I did a good bit of research on this, but I believe this is eligible as they are not a bird, they're vultures. Which is in the same avian class as the grey parrot, but they are not in the same family. Unlike Tiger - Lion, Buffalo - Ram, etc. which are all the same family. But if there is desire for me to pick something else, I will)
I'll repick, but fun fact (this game was unexpectedly educational):
Bears are more closely related to lions, than the California Condor is to a parrot.
Yeah I think in another iteration of this game we should make it explicitly that once an animal is picked, it's entire scientific family is ineligible. Which is what we've been doing for bovine, but not for birds, so it's tricky
I'm sitting pretty with my elephant, kangaroo and baboon. On our own we are already a well-rounded team. What we need is someone who can keep our morale up. Provide us with the cuteness when we're getting lonely. For that, I am taking the sea lion. And our fight is now by water.
He may not provide the strongest defence against the zombies, but dammit we're a family. And sometimes you just need to swim around with an adorable, playful sea lion. (Which I have done irl, and it was a great time. 10/10, would recommend)

Yea, I figured bc Moose, Camel and Horse all went that condor-parrot would be fair game. I used to love taxonomy, it's crazy how animals evolve over the years but are still related in some ways. It's pretty fascinating.
I’ve learned so much about animals. And my husband wants a divorce. (He’s the one that said the condor is a bird).
Jack and I just had an entirely too long conversation about the pros and cons of spiders in this game and what the effects of venom on a zombie would be. And whether or not Camels and Alpacas related.
Oh, and apparently wolverines and otters are related. who knew.
I'm going to bed soon. But I wanted to debut this beauty before I go.
Originally this was going to have Rambo vibez with me riding into battle atop a heard of elephants in a jungle. However, the addition of a water animal and the requirement of having a single animal made me change up the concept. However, I'm still happy with the overall chaotic good aesthetic this creates.
