30 years ago while on a school field trip, the kindergarteners got to visit an exhibition to see life sized models of dinosaurs. My 5year old son marveled at the huge jaws of a prehistoric shark. The narrator mentioned that the shark could open its mouth wide enough to swallow a cow causing my son to raise his hand & compassionately ask "Who threw the cow in the water?" I don't remember her answer but there were many muffled smiles among the other parents & teachers. I will always be thankful that she kept her composure & allowed him to keep his dignity & honest curiosity. All the little kids felt so sorry for that cow!

What I find truly mind boggling is how ,unconsciously, we feel that the dinos we have found were all that there were. In reality, we only found the ones that died conveniently (for us). The fauna and flora of those prehistoric times were probably more diverse than they are now. We have only probably seen less than 1% of what existed.

@AngrySockZa@@das_mo Actually, that's a really good guess. One percent is the estimate. The fossil record covers such a massive length of time and there are so many fossils we will never see-just like we would have never seen those of this giant snake without a coal mine digging an ungodly sized hole in the ground. When you add to that the fact that many species won't fossilize at all, and the fact that they have to be preserved in exactly the right conditions, it really speaks to the biodiversity that must have existed in the past.

The record average daily high for a year in Arizona was 77.5 degrees where as they suggested average temperatures of 83 to 94 in the ancient environment. So the average daily high would be much higher than 80 and yearly maximums higher again. Together with extreme humidity these temperatures would leave you feeling quite exhausted after a good laugh.

When I first came back to the US my cousin's told me all about the snakes they had killed around their woods surrounded house. They lived right on the St. John's river in Jacksonville FL. They had had a lot of water moccasins around. After telling me all about the snakes they wanted me to go outside to play. Terrified, I went outside and climbed up to the top of the swing set and didn't come down until I was called in. More than 50 years later I found a copperhead snake on my front porch near the front door. My grandson was rather nervous but I coaxed the snake into a tall bucket and we turned it lose in the woods away from our house. Not scared at all. What is scarier than finding a snake ...is the snake you don't see.

I have a ball python. She's the most docile, gentle pet you can imagine. She only bit me once, when I first got her. She was about the size of a pencil; maybe 8 inches long, and a half inch in diameter. I was feeding her fuzzies (small thawed mice), and she thought my finger was a mouse. But she didn't break the skin, and as soon as she grabbed my finger, she let it go. She knew it wasn't a mouse. She's pretty smart, for a reptile with a brain the size of a pea. She's six years old now, and fully grown; about 4 feet long, and as thick as a golf ball. She loves frozen (then thawed) hamsters. She knows me and is super friendly, but she's wary of strangers. And she takes less maintenance than _any_ other pet, except maybe a pet rock. Emily (named after my daughter-in-law, which makes for interesting family interactions) is the most efficient organism in existence at converting rodent into snake. I don't think I've fed her more than a hundred mice/rats/hamsters. That's all she eats, and she only eats about once a month. But those rodents were converted into a snake that weighs about 5 pounds now. (That's way more efficient than a giant windmill. Too bad we can't use rodent/snake power, huh?) I get upset when people talk about how bad snakes are. Sure, some are poisonous, but there are few poisonous snakes in N. America - although I'd hate to be squeezed by a large python or anaconda. Li'l Emily is super strong for her size. When she decides she doesn't want to cooperate, there's no way anyone could get her out of a hiding place. She's just one big muscle. Like any other creature, some snakes should be avoided (the poisonous ones), but most snakes are entirely beneficial, eating pests like gophers and rats. That's why you should never run over a snake in the road, no matter how tempting it might be. And if you think _you've_ got a tough life, snakes have a _much_ tougher row to hoe. How would you like it if you had to go thru life with no arms or legs? That would be pretty difficult, from personal hygeine to playing poker. You'd probably be a terrible piano player, too. And tap dancing? Forget it. So give snakes a break, they're not Titanoboas; those are history. Snakes are just trying to live life, without getting picked on. And contrary to myth, a snake won't chase you down. They'd rather just get away, and be left alone. Like us. Finally, here's some _very_ good advice: if you ever get a snake, do _not_ name it after your daughter in law... word up, amigo.

It really wasn't much hotter than today. However what they don't know is the climate was likely more humid. I've noticed that during our hot summers whenever a shower would pass over our area after the sun comes out you can see the steam in the air and it's hotter because of the humidity. Humidi air is less efficient at removing heat. (I know this from refrigeration training.) So at the time of giant snake the climate was probably more cloudy and more humid making the temperature more stable. Not as hot highs and slower cooling. This alone could explain the size of the Titaniboa.

A friend was bitten by a rattlesnake a month ago. The bite was painful. He got to the hospital in 20 minutes. It took the hospital over an hour to decide to inject the anti-venom. He could feel the snake venom creaping into all parts of his body. He felt the anti-venom going to work, and slowly the could feel his body recovering. He was bitten on his big toe as he was wearing sandals. His big tow was swollen and turning black. He then had an allergic reaction to the anti-venom. It's been a month since he was bitten, and just now he has just about recovered fully.

Just a point of clarification, there have been no breakthrough discoveries in this documentary. It is all scientific theory based on educated guesses. Nothing factual is presented regarding their so called "Titanoboa" ...as if the indigenous people of that region didnt already have a name for it and had drawn pictures of it for millennia

I’m glad I was able to find this. I watched it on Netflix a long time ago and when it was gone I was so upset. I watched it more than anything else. I tried searching on KZbin this last year but couldn’t find this video but then it popped in my recommended and now it’s my Favorites that I now get to watch repeatedly again. 😊 I have a severe phobia of snakes, even extends to centipedes, but they’re also very interesting to me.

I tend to think they’re are anacondas close to that size or at least bigger than what is accepted. They have told stories of 50ft snakes in the Amazon rainforest. Sailors told stories of the kraken and it’s always exaggerated but the colossal squid was discovered a century later in the abyss

@@randomzen924 anacondas average around 15-20 feet (and 20 feet would be unusual). The largest reported anacondas are around 30 feet, but that's never been credibly verified. They definitely don't get 60 feet. Their genetics don't work like that. It would be like saying most grizzly bears get 6 feet long, but here's one that's 18 feet long. It just doesn't happen. Also, they grow until death, but not at the same rate. Most growth is when they're young, and the growth slows considerably as they get older.
