# Titanoboa_Chernosis: Found in the wetlands of Colombia 70 million years ago. These Titanoboas were about 10 times larger than the current anacondas. They weighed more than 1 ton. And 50 feet long. Note that at that time they were the biggest snakes in the world.
Scientists say that snakes cannot adapt to the temperature of the environment with their body temperature, so they enter the hole during the winter. But 60 million years ago today, the Earth's temperature was warmer, resulting in environmental snakes. Due to its large size, it had to spend most of its time in the water. Titanoboa is not a venomous snake. But the pressure it exerts to kill the prey is what the victim's life is all about.
# Food:
The prey was a 5-foot-tall tortoise and a 20-foot-long crocodile. So it is very easy to swallow a big crocodile.
#Between_access: Anaconda snakes can swim through muddy swamps or deep rivers for about 45 minutes without breathing. Zoologists believe that the Titanoboa will not be able to swim underwater for so long due to its weight. So they probably swam with their heads above water. These giant creatures survived the temperature of the environment at the time of the Paleiosis 60 million years ago. Scientists say rising global temperatures are leading to fears that giant animals could return to the environment. The larger the warm-blooded animal, the more likely it is to move to a cooler environment [such as a polar bear]. Similarly, cold-blooded animals will want a warmer environment.
# Extinction_cause:
There is disagreement as to why the Titanoboas became extinct. Some zoologists say that they have not been able to survive due to the decrease in the temperature of the environment. Others believe that it is a giant and carnivorous food that causes extinction.
