The Titanoboa was at least 43-feet long, 3-feet wide and weighed 2,500 pounds. The international team of scientists that made the discovery found fossil vertebrae and ribs, but no skull or teeth. Snake expert Jake Conrad said, “It could easily eat something the size of a cow.”

  1. That’s cool, I wonder where they found it. I couldn’t tell the head from the tail though, it has no head! Please show a better picture!

  2. I’m not sure i believe that 65 MILLION years a go there was a snake that big. Sorry to burst your bubble but the bible says the earth is only 6 or 7 THOUSAND years old…look it up.

  3. I totally agree with Joboruebke. And if you read the Bible you might too! The snake probably existed but NOT 65 MILLION years ago.
