Thanks to Max for suggesting Titanoboa! Further reading: Largest known madtsoiid snake from warm Eocene period of India suggests intercontinental Gondwana dispersal This Nearly 50-Foot Snake Was One of the Largest to Slither on Earth Meet Vasuki indicus, the 'crocodile' that was a 50ft snake Titanoboa had really big bones compared to its modern relatives: Vasuki had big bones too: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. Almost exactly two years ago now, Max emailed to suggest we talk about titanoboa. The problem was that we had covered titanoboa in episode 197, and even though there's always something new to learn about an animal, in this case since titanoboa is extinct there wasn't much more I could share until new studies were published about it. But as the years passed I felt worse and worse that Max was waiting so long. A lot of listeners have to wait a long time for their suggested episode, and I always feel bad. But still there were no new studies about titanoboa! Why am I telling you all this? Because we're finally going to talk about titanoboa today, even though by now Max is probably old and gray with great-grandkids. But we're only going to talk about titanoboa to compare it to another extinct snake. That's right. Paleontologists have discovered fossils of a snake that was even longer than titanoboa! Let's start with Titanoboa, because it's now been a really long time since episode 197 and all I remember about it is that it's extinct and was way bigger than any snake alive today. Its discovery is such a good story that I'm going to include it too. In 1994, a geologist named Henry Garcia found an unusual-looking fossil in Colombia in South America, in an area that had been strip-mined for coal. Fifty-eight million years ago the region was a hot, swampy, tropical forest along the edge of a shallow sea. Garcia thought he'd found a piece of fossilized tree. The coal company in charge of the mine displayed it in their office along with other fossils. There it sat until 2003, when palaeontologists arranged an expedition to the mine to look for fossil plants. A researcher named Scott Wing was invited to join the team, and while he was there he poked around among the fossils displayed by the mining company. The second he saw the so-called petrified branch he knew it wasn't a plant. He sent photos to a colleague who said it looked like the jawbone of a land animal, probably something new to science. In 2007, the fossil was sent for study, labeled as a crocodile bone. But the palaeontologists who examined the fossil in person immediately realized it wasn't from a crocodile. It was a snake vertebra—but so enormous that they couldn't believe their eyes. They immediately arranged an expedition to look for more of them, and they found them! Palaeontologists have found fossilized remains from around 30 individual snakes, including young ones. The adult size is estimated to be 42 feet, or 13 meters. The largest living snakes are anacondas and reticulated pythons, with no verified measurements longer than about 23 feet long, or 7 meters. Titanoboa was probably twice that length. Because titanoboa was so bulky and heavy, it would be more comfortable in the water where it could stay cool and have its weight supported. It lived in an area where the land was swampy with lots of huge rivers. Those rivers were full of gigantic fish and other animals, including a type of lungfish that grew nearly ten feet long, or 3 meters. Studies of titanoboa's skull and teeth indicate that it probably mostly ate fish. So if titanoboa was so huge that until literally a few days ago as this episode goes live, we thought it was the biggest snake that had ever existed, how big was this newly discovered snake? It's called Vasuki indicus and while it wasn't that much bigger than titanoboa, estimates so far suggest it could grow almost 50 feet long,

The one about sandworms and other wormy cryptids and creatures

Titanoboa was the biggest snake that ever lived. It lurked in the waters 60 million years ago. At nearly 50 feet long and weighing in at 2,500 pounds, it was 10 times as heavy as the average green anaconda. But was it the most terrible creature? It turns out, there was someone to have questioned its might. You're gonna witness an epic fight: Titanoboa vs Mosasaurus. It'll be the battle of millennia. A huge snake against one of the most powerful ocean dinos ever... Who'd win? Both creatures lived in the ocean and were the strongest creatures in the water. #brightside TIMESTAMPS Phone buzz 00:00 Helicopter takes off 00:29 Extinct creature 01:42 The largest snake 01:48 Monstrous dolphin 02:20 Titanoboa 03:38 The fight under water 04:38 Chasing the opponent 05:45 Move away from each other 07:47 Eternal fight 08:27 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: Facebook:   / brightside   Instagram:   / brightgram   5-Minute Crafts Youtube: https://www.goo.gl/8JVmuC Stock materials (photos, footages and other): https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me/ Our App http://bit.ly/3a4dTr5 Learn more about your ad choices.

Emily Hart takes us (way) back in time this week, to a very different Colombia - one well before the arrival of human beings… but in the process of looking back, we'll also be looking forwards - to what the future on this planet might look like. We have with us some of the team behind "Hace Tiempo" - an incredible book on Colombia's paleontological past: Colombia's leading palaeontologist, Carlos Jaramillo, Paleo-botanist at EAFIT University, Camila Martínez, and science communications specialist at Parque Explorer Luz Helena Oviedo. This illustrated book - now in its second edition - is a paleontological journey through the country's past, and winner of an Alejandro Ángel prize, one of the most important awards for scientists in Colombia. More than 30 Colombian palaeontologists, working all over the world, contributed to the book, which is available free online – http://repository.humboldt.org.co/handle/20.500.11761/36213 – the physical version is for sale through the website of the Humboldt Institute, a key partner in its creation. Colombia is enormously fossil-rich and with a huge variety of habitats past and present Understanding Colombia's ancient flora and fauna is key to understanding the country's incredible biodiversity today, which is the product of millions of years of evolution, but in the alarmingly short term, is threatened by climate change and the accelerating global extinction of species. Uniquely, the project also gives readers in Colombia a paleontological resource which relates to the land around them. Rather than the well-known dinosaurs like T-Rex or triceratops, this book presents prehistoric animals peculiar to Colombia, like the 6-tonne giant sloth which lived here 50 million years ago, giant turtles the size of a cars, or the megalodon which roamed Colombia's waters, the biggest shark to ever exist – bigger than a school bus. The Titanoboa, meanwhile, was a vast snake weighing over a tonne, which roamed 60 million years ago in the then-tropical jungles of La Guajira, ancestor to the anaconda and the boa constrictor, its body was 13 metres long and – at a cross section - the size of a bicycle wheel. It is the largest snake ever to roam the earth. The Titanoboa was discovered by Carlos himself only a few years ago - after analysing tons of rocks extracted from the Cerrejón mines still active in La Guajira today. The new and expanded edition of the book - just out - includes a new chapter on Perijasaurus Lapaz, a long-necked herbivorous Colombian dinosaur discovered in 2018 in the Serranía del Perijá. Its name pays homage both to where it was discovered and to the 2016 peace agreement with the FARC, hence lapaz - which allowed palaeontologists to explore that region for the first time in decades. So today we'll be talking all about what Colombia looked like a very long time ago, what happened since, what fossil records can teach us about climate change, and whether humans are in fact, as Carlos will argue, the least successful species ever to live on Planet Earth.

The discovery of Titanoboa, a giant snake that lived 60 million years ago, has led to speculation that snakes could grow to enormous sizes as the Earth's temperatures continue to rise. Some snakes, like the African rock python, are already large enough to pose a threat to humans. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Off The Kirb Ministries today is talking about the biggest snakes ever discovered including Titanoboa, the largest anacondas and giant reticulated pythons.

(image source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonemys)Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Natasha Krech discuss Carbonemys, an enormous super predator that gives Raphael a run for his money in terms of turtle aggression and edginess. From the Early Paleocene, this 10-foot turtle chomped on crocodiles and fought giant snakes such as Titanoboa, which is freaking wild. A fitting start to the Age of Mammals; not with mammals, but with giant monstrous reptiles. Sort of like how the Age of Dinosaurs started with the synapsid stem mammals ruling the Earth first.

Titanoboa was the largest snake that ever lived on this planet. This Titanic of a serpent was terrorizing the Earth some time between the extinction of the dinosaurs and the first appearance of the biggest shark ever: Megalodon. A snake the length of 7 adults could've easily swallowed one. So, that's the question: what would happen if you somehow met this extinct giant and it gobbled you up whole? What would you see and feel inside Titanoboa's belly, and could you survive? Time to find out!

What's the largest snake in the world? Well, if we're talking about snakes alive today, then the longest snake is the Reticulated python. But the heaviest snake is the Anaconda. However, if you wanna know how big was the biggest snake that has ever lived, prepare to be amazed.  So, imagine you went back in time and are strolling through the jungles of the Paleocene. Ferns and trees are huge, and this one trunk is especially enormous. And then it moves. Tough luck! You've met the biggest snake that ever slithered on Earth – the Titanoboa. And Anacondas or Reticulated pythons would be like spaghetti next to this creature...  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I took a week off from writing this week. My son, Penn, is always asking to listen to my podcast. It is obviously not appropriate content for a 5 year old... so I told him we could do our own episode where he talks about something he is interested in. His current obsession is prehistoric animals. I bring you....Killer Creatures!Dunkleosteus, Helicoprion, Terror Bird, Titanoboa, Mosasaurus and the Kraken.There is only one source for today's content, a YouTube video posted by BE AMAZED. He has been reciting it like an encyclopedia.https://youtu.be/M3xYV3UX_t4

This episode is about fascinating extinct animals. In this episode we talk about Megalodon, Titanoboa, Deinosuchus, Giant Moa, Giant Ground Sloth (Megatherium), and Jaekelopterus. These are some pretty complicated names but that's ok. The facts about these animals aren't complicated! We have a breaking news segment and a joke for you guys!

Who would win in a fight between a Megalodon and a Titanoboa? Well, let's figure out! That would be a very unusual match. But it'd also be spectacular and intense. Okay, Megalodon! This species went extinct about 3 million years ago, but there are good reasons why it's now a legendary animal. It's the biggest shark that ever existed, and it was a super-powerful predator in its time. Titanoboa is way bigger than any other snake. It lived in the swamps of Colombia, and it was the real boss of the area. Titanoboa could eat absolutely any animal it decided to hunt, and it faced no competition. It could swallow a giant turtle or even a crocodile. It looked like a modern boa but behaved like an anaconda. And that's a very scary mix. But could it stop a giant shark?

In this episode we talk about Titanoboa

It was the largest snake that ever lived! In this episode we learn about Titanoboa, the HUGE constrictor that lived in the swamps of what is now, Columbia. Dinosaur George answers several questions submitted by the listeners, and then gives his opinions of numerous "Who Would Win" battles! 

Thanks to Pranav for this week's suggestion, Titanoboa, the biggest snake that ever lived! Parts of this episode come from an old Patreon episode about super-gigantic snakes, which is unlocked and you can listen to it here. A modern anaconda vertebra next to a Titanoboa vertebra. Guess which one is which: Carlos Jaramillo, one of the scientists who found Titanoboa and Acherontisuchus (taken from a Smithsonian Channel video): Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I’m your host, Kate Shaw. This has been a really busy week for me and I wasn’t able to finish researching the episode I had planned. Instead, we’ll have a short episode on a topic Pranav suggested ages ago, TITANOBOA! In September 2017 I released a Patreon episode about giant snakes, including Titanoboa, but this episode is all new. Ha ha, I thought it would take me less time to research it than finishing the research for what will be next week’s episode, ha ha I was wrong. Anyway, I’m going to unlock the giant snakes Patreon episode so anyone can listen. There’s a link in the show notes if you want to click through and listen on your browser. Oh, a big congratulations to the winner of my book giveaway, Arthina! Thanks to everyone who entered. In 1994, a geologist named Henry Garcia found an unusual-looking fossil in northeastern Colombia in South America. Specifically, it was an area that had been strip-mined for coal. Fifty-eight million years ago the region was a hot, swampy, tropical forest along the edge of a shallow sea. The Andes Mountains hadn’t yet formed. The environment was probably most similar to the Everglades and the Mississippi River delta in North America, but the climate was much warmer than it is now. These days what was once swamp is a field of rock uncovered by coal mining, which is not good for the environment but is unbelievably good for palaeontology. Garcia thought he’d found a piece of fossilized tree. The coal company in charge of the mine displayed it in their office along with other fossils. And there it sat until 2003, when palaeontologists arranged an expedition to the mine to look for fossil plants. A researcher named Scott Wing was invited to join the team, and while he was there he poked around among the fossils displayed by the mining company. The second he saw the so-called petrified branch he knew it wasn’t a plant. He sent photos to a colleague who said it looked like the jawbone of a land animal, probably something new to science. In 2007, the fossil was sent for study, labeled as a crocodile bone. But the palaeontologists who examined the fossil in person immediately realized it wasn’t from a crocodile. It was a snake vertebra—but so enormous that they couldn’t believe their eyes. They immediately arranged an expedition to search for more of them, and they found them! Comparisons to living anacondas and boas, the snake’s closest living relatives, helped researchers estimate the snake’s size. They named it Titanoboa cerrejonensis and described it in an article published in 2009 in Nature. In 2012, a partial Titanoboa skull was found. Snake skulls are fragile and don’t fossilize nearly as often as the more robust vertebrae and ribs. It turned out that Titanoboa had lots and lots of teeth, more teeth than modern boids have. Palaeontologists have found fossilized remains from around 30 individual snakes, including young ones. The adult size is estimated to be 42 feet, or 13 meters. The largest living snakes are anacondas, which may grow up to 29 feet, or 8.8 meters, but which are usually less than half that length. Reticulated pythons grow up to about 26 feet, or almost 8 meters, and possibly longer, but are also usually less than half that. Titanoboa might have grown up to 50 feet long, or 15 meters, and could weigh more than 2,500 pounds. That’s one and a quarter tons, or more than 1100 kg. The thickest part of its body would have been waist-high compared to an averag...

Please do not use snakes as facial coverings. Please check your seats before you sit down. Samuel L. Jackson didn't fight Titanoboa, but we might. Prepare for...

From the Paleocene epoch, this 42-foot constrictor just missed out on dinosaurs, so all that fan art you've seen of it crushing a T. rex or whatever was total nonsense. It's a cool image though, so who cares really? Oh yeah, paleontologists. Want to further support the show? Sign up to our Patreon for exclusive bonus content here.

Weird, tubular animals or geniuses of evolution? While Collie feeds his various constrictors, we hear how snakes are THE ultimate survivors.The can unhinge their jaws to swallow enormous prey items. They also have wily ways with their windpipes that stops them suffocating when ingesting a huge meal. And, when it comes to defending themselves, they have some stinky weapons up their, er, sleeves.Oh, and they have two penises. Seriously.Snakes rock.And don't forget to hit us up with any critter-related questions:FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/TheCritterShedDUB/TWITTER: @crittershedpodEMAIL: crittershed@gmail.comFurther reading:Have a look at this great BBC video that shows how a snake breathes while eating a huge meal.Check out this mad video about the ancient, ginormous Titanoboa snake.Herpetological Society of Ireland website: https://thehsi.org/Music:Podington: Curious, Algo Rhythm, Chauncy.The Critter Shed is produced by Red Hare Media.

Many mammals and species around the world have giant ancestors. From Megalodon to Titanoboa, sharks and snakes had ancestors that were double or triple their size... so then couldn't the same be true for humans? This week on The What If? Podcast, we explore that exact possibility—that we have preceding humanoid ancestors that are, well... BIG. From burial mounds in the midwest, to Giant Gingers in the Southwest, to mythical giant beings of history, this week we wonder whether or not we were one day big. We didn't even make one joke about the movie "Big." And Ryan's even seen that one. What a missed opportunity.

Giant Anaconda On Chapter 21 we travel to the wild and wet Rainforest in search of the elusive Giant Anaconda.…

This episode has been 60 million years in the making! Greg Phillips, paleontologist at the MS Museum of Natural Science, is here to talk about Titanoboa. The 40ft long snake that lived during the age of the dinosaurs. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

To begin, a brief word on the election. More on what we can all do next to follow down the line. Stay tuned. 00:00:00 - Patrick and Ryan are very excited to be joined by Alex Hastings, Assistant Curator at the Virginia Museum of Natural History and all around crocodylian expert. We spend the first segment of the show pestering him about all things croc and croc-related, and there's a lot.  00:31:25 - Now is a time to come together, and possibly have a drink. Alex somehow found a beer dedicated to the giant snake Titanoboa, so what else could he possibly have had? Patrick keeps it local with a Little Red RooStarr Coffee Cream Stout, which sounds complex but also smooth. Ryan needs to give his stomach a bit of a break so opts for some Pepto-Bismol in lieu of alcohol. 00:35:52 - Alex, in addition to all his research and curation, was also in a documentary called Graveyard of the Giant Beasts from PBS about giant crocs fighting extra long snakes. Sounds far-fetched, but probably actually happened, and Alex got to help tell their story. Be sure to like the VNMH on Facebook and follow Alex on Twitter for more updates on his efforts to bring exciting paleo to the people. 01:00:04 - Listeners are a lot like documentaries, you're hesitant to listen to them, but when you do it's usually worth it. First, Ryan celebrates the largesse of Elizabeth D., who gave us a donation and that's just dandy. Patrick finishes up with an iTunes review from bkaph11. We like reviews too, so it's kudos all around.  Thanks for listening and be sure to check out the Brachiolope Media Network for more great science podcasts!

In a new format this week we have a look at a veterinary case of the week, Jet the American Bulldog who took on a Taipan.  We head back 60 million years in the Land Rover Time Machine to have a look at the largest snake ever to have lived, Titanoboa.   Our new business...Continue reading →

Baby black mambas are easy prey for mongoose, honey badgers, and predatory birds, but to small, vulnerable mammals, mambas are deadly predators. The latest in science, culture, and history from Smithsonian Channel.

00:00:00 - Brown snakes may have reached Guam, but once there how do they reach between tree branches? New research shows how these tiny snakes would rather go up than across. 00:19:26 - Drinks bridge the gap between sobriety and drunkenness. Patrick sups a Naked Grape pinto grigrio. Ben kicks back some guava nectar from Egypt. And Ryan has a Jashimi cocktail invented by Jacopo Falleni. 00:24:45 - Ben and Ryan argue over comparisons to other movies while Patrick laments the plot twist seen in the trailer for Robot & Frank, the subject of this week's Trailer Trash Talk. 00:37:28 - The same mine that gave us Titanoboa has also given us a very large, round, and flat turtle called Puentemys mushaisaensis. Was the shape a way to avoid swallowing or was it a better way to thermoregulate back in the day? We honestly don't know but we're sure as shooting going to talk about it. 00:48:42 - PaleoPOWs are a lot like reptiles, you think they're slimy but really they aren't. Patrick has a question from Kyle P. about tracking all the fossils paleontologists manage to find. Ryan has a very poetic e-mail from Sonny C. And Ben promotes the Brachiolope Media Network forum by giving us the results of the most favorite Paleopal poll!   Discuss this episode and other podcasts from the Brachiolope Media Network on our forum!   Music for this week's show provided by: Up Above My Head - The Wood Brothers Belly Full of Wine - Eureka Gold Frank - Matt & Kim Turtle Power - Partners in Kryme

00:00:00 - Jason Head joins us to talk about Titanoboa, the largest snake ever found and subject a new documentary starring Dr. Head himself. Part 1 tackles the initial discovery and piecing together of the biology of the snake. We actually recommend watching the documentary (or play the game) first, but you're a smart person, you'll figure it out regardless. 00:27:29 - Some snakes function better in the water, some scientists podcast better with a drink. Charlie tries his hand at cider, Patrick calls back to an old-faithful Pinot Noir, and Ryan compliments his recently acquired Biere De Mars from Jolly Pumpkin. 00:31:28 - Trailer Trash Talk tangents into board game territory, i.e. anything to avoid talking about how bad Battleship looks. 00:43:50 - Part 2 of our interview with Dr. Jason Head finishes the story of The Infamous Biting of John Bloch, as well as discussing the paleoecological significance of this awesome find. We also ask about the process of having a documentary made about your work. All in all, a good time is had. 01:02:10 - PaleoPOWs are a lot like fossil snakes, easily lost to the rigors of time. Charlie has an iTunes review from an underaged fluffyraptor decrying his lack of ability to donate. We come up with an alternate, more collegiate use for the money. Speaking of money, Eric C. decides to set up a recurring donation, and Patrick is quick with the praise. And finally, Ryan has a question from Kyle H. concerning which scientific topic the guys would most like to see animated.   Thanks for listening and be sure to check out the Brachiolope Media Network for more great science podcasts!   Music for this week's show provided by: Crawling Snake King - The Doors Johnny Appleseed - Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros The Battle of Who Could Care Less - Ben Folds Five So Long - Guster

How do paleontologists study fossils? What can fossils tell us about earth's past climates? What went into the creation of the Smithsonian Channel's documentary Titanoboa: Monster Snake? Titanoboa is the world's largest snake, it would have been 48 feet long and would weigh 2,500 pounds. Dr. Jason Head, Vertebrate Paleontologist, shares his experience in studying Titanoboa's fossils and what these fossils can tell us. The fossils are clues to scientists who can use them to reconstruct earth's history.

The world of a prehistoric snake — a nightmarish giant, measuring longer than a Tyrannosaurus Rex or a modern school bus — is being brought to life in part by University of Nebraska-Lincoln Professor Jason Head. The snake, Titanoboa, and the research team is featured in a 90-minute, Smithsonian Channel special on the discovery, "Titanoboa: Monster Snake".
