Titanoboa: The Snake That Broke Science

Titanoboa was a colossal prehistoric snake, reaching 13 meters in length and weighing over a ton, making it the apex predator of its time around 60 million years ago. Its enormous size was supported by a tropical climate with temperatures above 30°C. This aquatic hunter lived in ancient South American rainforests, preying on large fish and crocodiles, and its fossils offer important insights into the evolutionary history and environmental conditions of the Paleocene epoch.
