Largest-ever snake was 48 feet long, emerged after dinosaurs

Scientists in 2009 reported the discovery of 60-million-year-old fossils of a snake estimated to weigh 1,140 kg and measure 48 feet. The Titanoboa cerrejonensis species roamed the Amazon rainforests after dinosaurs went extinct. However, as per Guinness Book of World Records, a 25-foot-long python is the longest snake in captivity, whereas a 32.8-foot-long snake was shot in Indonesia in 1912.
