Giant Snake

Scientists find a snake fossil from 48 million years ago. This snake would have been 13 meters long and 2,500 pounds. Scientiscall this snake Titanoboa cerrejonensis. Titanoboa's fossilized remains were discovered at a coal mine in the tropical Cerrejon region of northern Colombia by a team of scientists. It would have had to be 86 to 93 degrees Fahrenheit for the snake to have survived. I think this is cool but im happy no snake was ever this big.
