Could the Biggest Snake That Ever Lived Swallow a Car?

Could the Biggest Snake That Ever Lived Swallow a Car? It was 13 meters long. It weighed over a ton. It lived 60 million years ago in the swamps of what is now Colombia. And it was so large that when paleontologists first found its vertebrae, they assumed they were looking at something else entirely. This is Titanoboa. The biggest snake that ever lived. And the question of whether it could swallow a car is less absurd than it sounds. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ CHAPTERS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ SOURCES & FURTHER READING ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Jonathan Bloch — Titanoboa discovery, Florida Museum of Natural History Jason Head — Titanoboa cerrejonensis paleontology research Cerrejón Formation, Colombia — primary fossil site Journal of Nature, 2009 — original Titanoboa description paper ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ MORE VIDEOS YOU'LL LIKE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ [   • How Did Anything Survive When Giant Insect...  ] [   • What Did Ancient Humans Actually Do at Night?  ] [   • How Did Ancient Humans Survive Tooth Infec...  ] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ABOUT THIS CHANNEL ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ We explore the science, history, and psychology behind the questions nobody thinks to ask.
