Paleontologists have discovered remnants of the largest snake (extinct or living) ever known in a coal mine in Northeastern Colombia. The snake, dubbed Titanoboa, is 13 meters (42 feet) long and weighed over a tonne. It was as long as a city bus and the behemoth has generated a big buzz on the news lately. Jason Head of the University of Toronto stated that it was a massive aquatic snake that probably spent most of it's time dwelling in water and devouring prehistoric fish and crocodiles 60 million years ago. It was approxiamately a meter in diameter and if it were to try eat you, there won't even be a bulge in it's stomach. It would also have difficulty squeezing through your bedroom door. Judging by the scale of this creature, it is larger than the CGI snake that ate Jennifer Lopez and her friends in the Anaconda films.
