TITANOBOA REX. Yeah, no... But still. TITANOBOA.

News, news, news...the science news!!!





TITANOBOA.
Titanoboa Cerrejonensis.
Whoa.
So, this magnificently extinct creature's remains were found in a Columbian coal mine, and, Oh Boy!
Is it a big one.
Up to 50 feet long and weighing over 2,000 pounds, this serpent could take on anything that crossed its path.
Whew.
This stuff's pretty cool.

It's TITANOBOA!!!

This should help show the scale of this beast when compared with puny humans... Sheesh. That is so boss.

This is a close-up of the exhibit... look how cute Titanoboa is devouring that crocodile.
Awwwwww.
