In the depths of prehistoric Colombia, an enormous snake once ruled the land and waters alike. Titanoboa was a monstruous serpent which even today strikes fear into the hearts of modern-day adventurers.
A titan amongst snakes, fossil records from Colombia have revealed its immense size, estimated at up to 49 feet (15 meters!). Roaming the Earth during the Paleocene epoch about 60 million years ago, its remains have only been uncovered in Colombia. Through meticulous study and scientific ingenuity, scientists reconstructed a life-size model of Titanoboa which brought the ancient monster to life.
