Reconstruction of giant reptiles at New York Museum

Thankfully this was not the snake alive. The prototype of the giant reptile is on display in New York to spread science to everyone.

Titanoboa solid model at American Nature Museum.

The prototype of the titanoboa snake (coupled with the word 'titanium' and 'boa' - meaning snake) is as long as a bus is considered a 'dinosaur' in snakes, living 65 million years ago. Giant titanoboa fossil samples were first discovered in a coal mine in Colombia in 2005.

Jonathan Bloch, a Paleocene century researcher, after the dinosaur extinction, said at first he did not realize what he had collected until he returned to the lab. He then discovered that fossil specimens are of much larger species than snakes today.

Titanoboa giant snake has a family of tropical American pythons but has a South American python-like habit. They live in water and eat fish, snakes and crocodiles.
