The researchers named the snake Titanoboa. From the size of its vertebrae they estimate it was 13 metres long and a metre wide, which means it would have had trouble squeezing through a modern doorway. It weighed 1,140 kilograms.
im imagining this thing wiggling across a highway or spiralling itself up an elavator shaft or maybe wrapping itself around the town square christmas tree and i think we should bring them back, through science, just for all the laffs they could bring

bright colors like that are usually warnings to potential predators: beware, danger! very sneaky of a garter snake to look like that.
