Titanoboa (SciiFii)

The giant anaconda (Titanoboa americanum) is a species of very large snake that originally lived in what is now La Guajira in northeastern Colombia around 58 to 60 million years ago during the Middle to Late Paleocene epoch, as an extinct species, Titanoboa cerrejonensis. The giant anaconda can usually grow up to 12.8 meters (42 feet) long and reach a weight of 1,135 kg (2,500 lb), although some individuals can grow slightly larger and heavier. Despite being a massive carnivore, the giant anaconda primarily feeds on fish and other fully-aquatic animals smaller than itself, only occasionally preying on some land vertebrates to supplement its diet. The majority of the giant anaconda's lifestyle and lifecycle is almost identical to those of the green anaconda. The conservation status of the giant anaconda is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the giant anaconda's wide range.
