The scientists say that on the basis of the fossil, it is estimated that this titanic serpentine existed on the earth some 40 million years ago and was contemporary of dinosaurs. They further say that this mammoth animal might be of 42-45 (12-13 meter) feet long and more than one thousand kilogram in weight leaving python or Anaconda far behind in size as well as weight. The biggest python is reported 9 meter long only according to book of records.
It can swallow a cow or a bull very easily and can thrash a bus.The discovery of this fossil would unearh and unravel many myths about the snakes and would add interesting chapters in the study of nature and science.
