Science "This thing is a crocodile eater, catching and eating them in the water."

6138/1233870351-anaconda-3-the-offspring-dsrip-xvid.jpg Scientists have discovered a prehistoric anaconda that was longer than a school bus.

Titanoboa was at least 43 feet long, weighed 2,500 pounds (1,140 kg) and its massive body was at least 3 feet (1 meter) wide, they wrote in the journal Nature.

I wish Satan would stop leaving these things underground; I'm really starting to believe in these giant lizards.

I read about this a couple days ago! So cool! I love it when mythical monsters turn out to be not-so-mythical.

anaconda have interesting mating rituals. the female has sex for hours with several males, all slithering around each other (prolly trying to find her vagina). when the eggs hatch, the lil 'condas are pushed out by mama to live life on their own post haste. kinda like madonna, really.

I'm pleased that it's called "Titanoboa."
