The Titanoboa is an extinct species of snake. Judging by the structure of the skeleton, she was a close relative of the boa constrictor. Lived in Colombia about 58 - 60 million years ago. Fossil remains of a snake were found in a coal mine, near the town of Kerrekhon. Canadian and American zoologists, having done a comparative analysis of the skeleton, came to the conclusion that the snake could reach up to 13 meters in length and weigh more than a ton. To date, the largest snake is the reticulated python, which can reach a length of more than 10 meters and weigh over 135 kg.
