Scientists in India discovered a 50-foot-long prehistoric snake named Vasuki indicus from 47 million years ago, making it one of the largest snakes ever found and providing new insights into ancient ecosystems and snake evolution.
Scientists in India have discovered a fossil of Vasuki Indicus, a prehistoric snake estimated to be up to 15 meters long, making it potentially the largest snake ever recorded. The fossil, dating back 47 million years, provides insights into ancient ecosystems and the evolution of giant snakes, highlighting their size and terrestrial lifestyle during the warm, humid Eocene period.
A team of researchers in India has identified a newly described fossil snake, Vasuki indicus, which may have been the largest snake to have ever lived, measuring about 50 feet long. The snake lived in India around 47 million years ago and belonged to the extinct family of madtsoiid snakes. The researchers believe that the snake's large size may have been influenced by factors such as a favorable environment with ample food resources and warmer climatic conditions. If the estimates are correct, Vasuki may have been longer than Titanoboa, a gigantic boa that lived in South America about 60 million years ago.
