New Giant Snake
- Thread starter Mishy
- Start date
Earlier this month scientists unearthed the fossil of a killer snake that was longer than a bus, as heavy as a small car and which could swallow an animal the size of a cow.
The 45ft long monster - named Titanoboa - was so big that it lived on a diet of crocodiles and giant turtles, squeezing them to death and devouring them whole.
Weighing an impressive 1.25 tons, it slithered around the tropical forests of South America 60million years ago, just five million years after the last dinosaurs were wiped out.
Partial skeletons of the boa constrictor-like prehistoric killer were found in a Colombian coal mine by an international team of fossil hunters.
^ Interesting, LP I bet you would'nt own that badboy ;P

If i was to o walk somewhere randomly for no reason, and suddenly confronted by a beast that big.....guess what I would do?

I forget where, but people found a retic python just under 50'. They now keep it in a zoo there. I would like to own that snake. Also A. gig they have tried to find him but no one succeeded. Most of the pictures of it were fakes.
yes, but did you see the episode of river monsters on arapaima? there's some evidence from that to go on... such as the giant trail, the giant pit with giant pieces of snakeskin in it...Silvertears;4589847; said:
