Part 2/9:

In the realm of primitive giants, the Titanoboa stands out as the most formidable snake ever discovered. First unearthed in 2009, fossils indicate that this prehistoric serpent could grow over 14 meters (about 46 feet) in length, dwarfing even the largest anacondas. Living during the Paleocene epoch, the Titanoboa thrived in the Amazon rainforest and was likely a top predator, capable of taking down substantial prey, including large crocodilians.
