Titanoboa Cerrejonensis PHOTO!
PHOTO! Here is a stunning photo of the Titanoboa Cerrejonensis. An ancient fossil of a Titanoboa Cerrejonensis has been found in a Cerrejon’s mine in Colombia.
The fossil of the Titanoboa Cerrejonensis found is just a bit large …
… It’s bigger than a school bus! Heavier than a VVolkswagen Beetle! Let’s just say it this way - it’s big enough to eat the entire neighborhood and come back for seconds.
Thankfully, it’s a fossil. Above is a live one.
Reports the Times: “Modern boas and anacondas, which average less than 20 feet in length and reach a maximum of 30 feet, have been known to swallow Chihuahuas, cats and other small pets, but this prehistoric monster ate giant turtles and primitive crocodiles.”
Its length was 43 feet long.
The discovery announced today changes how large we think a snake can get … and reminds us how far we want to stay away!

It’s a photo of a regular boa and a single part of the Titanoboa’s spine. It’s meant to give us something to compare it to…
There isn’t any photo’s on the Titanoboa because it has been extinct for several millions of years.
