Quote: Named Titanoboa cerrejonensis, the snake would have weighed 1,140 kilograms (2,500 pounds) and measured 13 meters (42.7 feet) nose to tail tip -- dwarfing the largest modern pythons and anacondas which can grow to 6 meters (19.5 feet).

I must admit I'm greatly overjoyed that it doesn't live to slither around today. That's one HUGE snake.

I was thinking like, "Okay, the snake is still discovered. Good. Glad to know it hasn't been undiscovered or something" *shrug*
