Scientists Discover Growing Giant Snake Heavier Than a Car

Titanoboa cerrejonensis, the largest snake ever discovered, lived over 58 million years ago during the Paleocene epoch, reaching lengths of up to 46 feet and weighing over a ton. Its discovery has provided valuable insights into prehistoric ecosystems and climate conditions, indicating that Earth's temperatures were significantly higher during that period, which supported such massive reptiles. The snake was an aquatic constrictor that preyed mainly on fish, and its existence helps scientists understand how life rebounded after the dinosaurs' extinction and how climate influences species evolution.
