There are some pretty gigantic snakes in the world (that’s what she said) but some are bigger than others. (Yeah, we know.) In fact, the biggest of all lived in Colombia only a few hundred million years ago.
Scientists have found fossils of a snake that was about 45 feet long and weighed in at around 2,500 pounds. Let’s just say it could probably eat your car, your neighbor’s car, and you as a dessert. Those species traitors over at the Discovery Channel (motto: Watch This Blow Up in Slow Motion!) would have us believe that the snake is extinct, but we’re smart enough to know better than to assume something so foolish. After all, a bunch of frogs were found in Colombia earlier this week. Maybe the snake has been seen by humans, only those humans never lived to tell the tale.
I like the CNN headline: “Prehistoric snake remains discovered.”
Someone tried to undiscover the snake, but to no avail.
