Scientists have discovered the fossil of a giant snake in a Colombian rainforest. The fossil remains of the snake, known as titanoboa cerrejonensis, were discovered in a coal mine in equatorial Colombia and described today in the journal Nature. Scientists say the snake grew up to 15 metres long when it lived 60 million years ago and it was as thick as a refrigerator. The paper's author Jason Head, an assistant professor of biology at the University of Toronto, says the snake is related to modern boa constrictors. "Its maximum diameter would have been anywhere from three-quarters of a metre to a metre thick," he said. "We estimated its body length to be between 13 to 15 metres in length and its mass to be about 1.25 tonnes." WOW!! |
