    Ancient snake was as long as a bus

    From MSNBC.COM
    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29014818/


    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
