[BOGOTA, Feb. 5 (UPI) -- Fossilized remains of a 42-foot-long, 2,500-pound snake discovered in northeastern Colombia represent the biggest snake ever found, scientists say.

The researchers, led by Jason Head of the University of Toronto, estimate the snake, called Titanoboa cerrejonensis, lived 58 million to 60 million years ago, the BBC reported Wednesday.

By comparison, the heaviest snakes living today, the green anacondas, weigh only about 550 pounds and reticulated pythons can reach about 32 feet long.

Vitals long lost cousin? o:

Not sure Draco's but I think Vitals.

Oh yeah, I read that in my paper about fifteen minutes ago. Me and my dad measured fifteen metres (it's maximum length) and it reached from the edge of our house to the end of our property. It's like bus-length.

That's crazy! On Yahoo! They said it was as big as a school bus. Wow. Just Wow.

Yeah, I never expected a snake that could get that long in length, ever.
