Largest snake 'as long as a bus'

Recommended Posts

Titanoboa was 13m (42ft) long - about the length of a bus - and lived in the rainforest of north-east Colombia 58-60 million years ago.

 

The snake was so wide it would have reached up to a person's hips, say researchers, who have estimated that it weighed more than a tonne.

 

Green anacondas - the world's heaviest snakes - reach a mere 250kg (550lbs).
