Feet long That's as long as a T-Rex named Sue that You can see in a museum in Chicago Block along with Carlos Jaramillo a Plant expert from Panama's Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute led the team That went on the expedition Block mentioned that while giant snakes In movies like Anaconda are super Fascinating the real snake they found is Even bigger The snake in the movie that tried to eat Jennifer Lopez isn't as large as the one They discovered Jason head a scientist who studies old Things at the University of Toronto in Mississauga and the main person behind The paper talked about titanoboa like This the snake's body was so wide that If it were moving down the hall and Decided to come into my office to eat me It would literally have to squeeze Through the door in addition to weighing Around 1.25 tons the snake existed During a Time called the paleocene epoch This was a period of about 10 million Years right after the dinosaurs when Extinct 65 million years ago as Explained by block While they were on their research trip The scientists also discovered lots of Big turtle an ancient crocodile like Creature skeletons These creatures were most likely food

For the snake block added before experts Started their research nobody had found Any old animal bones in the area between 65 million and 55 million years ago in The warm parts of South America This made it hard for them to know what Life was like in that part of the world Block explained that now they have a Chance to look into the past right after The dinosaurs disappeared and learn About the new animals that took their Place The fact that the snake was so huge Tells us that temperatures around the Middle of the Earth used to be much Hotter according to blush Animals like snakes which depend on the Temperature around them to stay warm can Only grow as big as the temperature Allows when scientists observe animals That rely on the environment for their Body heat today they see that the bigger Ones are found in the hottest areas near The equator As they move away from the equator they Tend to get smaller by considering the Snake's size the researchers could Figure out that around 60 million years Ago the average temperature in Equatorial South America was about 91 Degrees Fahrenheit This was approximately 10 degrees hotter Than it is now explained block Finding these huge snakes and freshwater

Turtles from 60 million years ago tells Us that even back then the building Blocks of the Amazon rainforest current Tropical ecosystem were already there According to what he said Usually it's tough to find old fossils In the forests of the tropics because The rocks are hidden However they were able to dig in the Carriage on Coal Mine in Colombia's North where the Rocks were visible This was an amazing chance to uncover Fossils that couldn't be found anywhere Else as explained by block once the Scientists brought the old remains to The Florida museum of natural history it Was two students Alex Hastings and Jason Bourque from the University of Florida Who were the first to realize that these Bones were from a super big snake block Explained that an expert named head who Knows a lot about ancient snakes teamed Up with another scientist named David Polly from Indiana University Together they use the connection between The size of a snake's body and its Backbone to estimate how long and heavy The snake was They did this by comparing the sizes of Modern snakes and their backbones to Figure out the ancient snakes size based On its old backbones furthermore the Earliest mention of this mysterious Creature was written down by Percy H
