The Largest Snake That Ever Lived — Titanoboa

After the dinosaurs died, the Earth didn't belong to us. The throne of the empty planet was taken by a monster — Titanoboa, the largest snake that ever lived. Thirteen meters long, over a ton in weight. This is the story of its rise — from a tiny, vulnerable hatchling hunted by crocodiles, to the undisputed ruler of the ancient swamps of Cerrejón. And the story of its fall, when the world that created the giant took it back. It's also the story of why, in the end, the Earth was inherited not by giants — but by the small creatures we descended from. #titanoboa #dinosaurs #paleontology #prehistoric #science #Aevox #evolution
