World's Biggest Snake!

I hate snakes…seriously. Mapa-taong ahas o hayop. Hahaha.

Pero seriously, anaconda nga eh nakakatakot. What more pa kaya ito:

Good thing na lang at nabuhay lang ang sawa na ito during the ancient prehistoric times. Thank God. Haha. According to the article from National Geographic.com:

Fossils found in northeastern Colombia’s Cerrejon coal mine indicate the reptile, dubbed Titanoboa cerrejonesis, was at least 42 feet (13 meters) long and weighed 2,500 pounds (1,135 kilograms).

“That’s longer than a city bus and … heavier than a car,” said lead study author Jason Head, a fossil-snake expert at the University of Toronto Mississauga in Canada and a research associate with the Smithsonian Institution.

Pero amazing din siya kahit papaano. Have anybody seen a snake longer than a bus? I doubt it. Even though its scary, it can be still amazing.
