Ancient snake was as long as a bus

Excerpt:
Fossils of the extinct snake species, now called Titanoboa cerrejonensis, were discovered in the Cerrejon Coal Mine in northern Colombia.
From the fossilized vertebrae, the researchers conservatively estimate the snake weighed about 2,500 pounds and measured nearly 43 feet nose to tail tip.
Handling would clearly have been a two-person job :rofl:

Re: Ancient snake was as long as a bus
geez could you imagine the size of the cage!
how about feeding it you would have to have a hog farm surely!
i think for a snake this big you would surely need atleast 5 ppl around.
Re: Ancient snake was as long as a bus
Thats the understatement of a lifetime.......... i think this snake would laugh at 5 people, i say 50!

"At its greatest width, the snake would have come up to about your hips. The size is pretty amazing," said co-author P David Polly :O
