I am all for prehistoric animals. I am always interested when there are some news regarding them. Tonight was a first. They managed to unearth a huge monster snake fossil from long ago. Named Titanoboa cerrejonensis, the snake, was dug up in Colombia and would have weighed 1,140 kilograms (2,500 pounds) and measured 13 meters (42.7 feet) nose to tail tip, dwarfing even the largest modern pythons and anacondas which can grow to 20 feet. If you wonder about monster snakes found in the movies like Jennifer Lopez’s ever famous Anaconda movie, that snake barely can make a dent on the fossilized snake’s size if compared against it.
Check out this news from CNN for more details.
