A prehistoric snake was as long as a bus

Are you afraid of snakes? Then the very thought of titanobot will cause chills on your skin. Imagine a snake that is about 15 meters long and jump through the jungle, eating whole crocodiles. But do not worry Titanoboa cerrejonensis can not meet live today. It has reigned in nature about 60 million years ago. And today we can get closer to the recovery of this big snake in the United States, Utah. There, in the Monte Bean Museum, he was exposed to show a full-size model of the titanobot, half-swallowed by a crocodile.

The monster did not kill the poison that slammed her poisonous teeth. Instead, she had broken her victim to death in her steel hug - her weight was about 1133 pounds! Fossils of the snake, the largest ever found, have been found in a Colombian coal mine that has preserved many prehistoric remains of plants and animals inhabiting the Earth during the Paleocene , the period that began after the dinosaurs died . Titanobot was really huge (as a school bus!), Even at the prehistoric standards.
