Titanoboa found in Colombia

I saw this earlier, opfin posted this bit of info

 

Imagine walking out into your backyard and seeing a 20 ft snake.

You poop a little, and run screaming.

Then imagine that 20 ft snake turning around and seeing a 42 ft snake...

 

holy cow!! it's amazing how little we know about our own planet!!

 

anything that feeds on crocodiles is not something to be messed with.

 

Ok, I admit, I was sucked in by the name.

 

I ran up on this also and only post it because it also shows 27 other species in a video. Really amazing stuff.

The video alone is worth the look.

 

Apparently we are warming the planet in oblivion. I am surprised this snake lived when in a time when it was much warmer on earth. Global Warming brings back big animals..

 

SciFi Channels next crappy movie will be "Titanoba". A group of scientists do a Jurassic Park and mother of all snakes is unleashed upon a small town. Only saved the town folksy sheriff and hot supermodel looking snake expert from Local College kill the thing with a chainsaw. But not before the rednecks, bumbling military guys, and evil scientists are all gobled up.

That's one impressive snake...unfortunately that's not what she said.

 

Arthritis?????
