Summary- Smithsonian researchers have unearthed the first macrofossil evidence of a neotropical rainfroest. Titanoboa, the biggest snake on record, lived in this rainforest 58 million years ago. This huge serpant was 42 feet long with a weight of 2510 pounds. At its greatest width the snake would have probably come up to your waist. the estimates are based on the size and length of the vertibral coloumn.
Opinion- I think its quit fascinating. I am also glad that it's not alive today. I wonder if it would it us if it were alive. I also wonder what it ate. I wonder if it ate goats.
