The Titanoboa?
People that don’t like big snakes might want to look away and not read this post. A discovery has been made recently of a giant snake that once slid its way across our planet in prehistoric times. When I say giant, I mean bigger than anything we’ve ever seen past or present. Bigger than anything we’ve even seen in the movies.
Anaconda does come to mind, but this snake, now being called the titanoboa, is said to have been as long as a school bus and as heavy as a small car. The remains of this one great creature were found in Columbia, and they are now being studied at the University of Florida.
The snake is said to have lived following the period of T-Rex. So this snake did not exist during the time of the dinosaurs, but the period immediately following their extinction. Inside the snake, remains of other creatures, including turtles and crocodiles, were also found. This find has helped scientists learn more about this period in our planet’s history.
COLOMBIA not Columbia.
