Titanoboa
60 million years ago, giant tissue-hunting animals dominated the vast lagoon forests of South America. Titan noboa was a giant snake that was longer than a bus and could cross rivers. The vast and rolling lowlands north of Columbia dominated the primeval landscape until they became extinct due to the earth's extreme impacts. But what will happen when the titanoboa, the largest snake ever discovered, remains? live to this day this video will talk about some interesting theories regarding that in the warm forests of the Amazon there exists one of the heaviest and longest snakes in South America and in the world. The green anaconda is a water-loving creature that is large enough to swallow an adult deer, a sheep or even South America's largest cat, the jaguar with its expert camouflage ability. In shallow rivers and flooded grasslands, he ambushes his prey and surprises him with his body with his powerful flagellates reaching up to 9 m long, this giant bundle is a terrifying nightmare but There was a bigger monster that lived and hunted in these same jungles. During the Pelosin Era, which began about 66 million years ago, the king of the primitive world was not a Tyrannosaurus rex or a Spinosaurus, but a snake. The wettest giants in South America are partly due to the high levels of CO2 in the antosphere in some parts of the world that were burned during the last period of the Cretaceous period, which was the last great period of dinosaurs. long but the temperature even increased h After a global cataclysm known as the late Cretaceous Cretaceous extinction event a large asteroid likely crashed into warm waters along the coast Today's Mexico has experienced hundreds of thousands of years of collision and its consequences have wiped out most of life on earth, forest fires raged around the world, waves destroyed the coasts and volcanoes spewed huge columns of smoke. increases the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere and makes the planet even hotter. Under these conditions, tropical South America has become a noisy greenhouse, dense forests exploding in the wetlands of Colombia. Venezuela and Brazil are fed by almost daily rainfall during their wettest periods, these forests become flooded for weeks or months covering the murky wetlands in basins deep enough to submerge them. submerge a human from head to toe in these blistering ecosystems. Cold-blooded animals like snakes, turtles and crocodiles can double or double in size. Cold-blooded animals cannot generate their own heat, so They had to depend on the environment to increase their body temperature. Countless cold-blooded animals thrived in the hot tropical forests of the mid to late Pelosin period, the most prominent of which was the giant snake Titanoboa. classified as titanoboa catris also known as the Giant White Lo from seraton this semi-aquatic giant white is a creature unlike any other white in history based on approximately 30 different specimens and ecological data Biologists believe that the titanoboa could have grown to an extremely impressive length of up to 13 m. For comparison, the longest Modern White species is the Net Moon of Indonesia which is believed to be about 10 m long. If the titanoboa were alive today It will almost hold the record for the longest snake that exists on the planet. In addition to its incredible length, titanoboa also weighs up to 1000 kg or 2200 pounds, surpassing all snakes on earth. Titano is a combination of Moon boa and Moon Anaconda biologists were not sure which of the other two species this Tien Su creature resembled more Titanoboa, which spent most of its time immersed in shallow water while hunting, may have covered its giant body in layers of mud and water, slowly ambushing its prey, gripping its hooked teeth and b Strangling the life in the victim's body with such great size and strength titanoboa can capture and destroy larger predators in its ecosystem including crocodiles and even crocodiles which are Other snakes until the end of the pelosin titanoboa disappeared from the tropics and lowlands of northern Colombia. The exact cause of this species' extinction is still unclear. It is possible that they were affected by changes The sudden change in the earth's climate during the early and early yosin epochs. The global average temperature increased rapidly by about 5 degrees Celsius. It was an event called the pelosin eosin maximum temperature. This global event caused widespread extinction, mass migrations, and disruption of both marine and terrestrial ecosystems, including the swamps and jungles of South America, if titanoboa had survived pelosin yosin event it will face many more challenges in the millions of years between then and now about 34 million years ago the yosin transition osin marked the first major global cooling and glaciation of the The ice sheet around the planet's poles dramatically expands the amount of CO2 present in the atmosphere, lowering temperatures in even the hottest and most humid regions of the world. to large cold-blooded animals like the titanoboa, which reduced their body temperature and slowed down their internal metabolism. Even if the titanoboa adapted to these changes in climate, it could still be defeated by many species of mammals now dominate the globe, the ecological niches once occupied by dinosaurs, mammals have dominated the dry grasslands, the forests of the World, and many other natural areas, but No species poses a greater threat to animals than humans. Humans have lived in South America for thousands of years hunting and killing animals, including species many times larger than us during the ice age. Finally about 11,700 years ago human hunting pushed giant mammals such as the blood-toothed and wool- sucking elephants to the brink of extinction on a purely physical level that humans could never compete with. with a monster as big as the titanoboa but by hunting in groups and using tools ancient humans could have been a big threat if the titanoboa lived during this time somehow if the titanoboa could overcome overcome all these obstacles and exist in the world to day n, its impact can be so profound that the unpredictable top predator can greatly affect the balance of the food chain. Ecology would be affected as prey populations became smaller. For example, if the titanoboa were still alive today, its presence could impact the decline of animal populations in the swamp such as turtles and crocodiles. population can have unpredictable and irreversible consequences on local food chains that over millions of years have become no longer predictable. How does it affect the evolution of the natural world, but it can be certain that these giant snakes will also affect our lives with only a few terrestrial predators such as bears or other species of snakes? Big cats are known to attack humans, but if a titanoboa appeared, it would definitely be considered the most dangerous. Imagine you walk into your backyard, but there isn't a cat there. An ordinary garter snake, a monster up to 13 meters long that swoops down from the bushes, a titanoboa large enough to wrap its huge body around a car overturns small boats and swallow adults with ease. It is rare for modern snakes like the anaconda to attack humans, but the titanoboa was much larger and may have developed a taste for primate meat in only a few hypothetical places on earth. that titanoboa can live in as forested swamps in southern united states this natural area acts as a dam for the mississippi river more than 1 million acres of mellow lowlands create marshes this is a wetland America's largest in terms of climate and diversity, atra faya resembles northern Colombia some 58 million years ago, making these forests and swamps potentially suitable for all but the largest cold-blooded carnivores. Further toward the plains, another potential environment for titanoboa may be found. This is a subtropical wetland in southern Florida known as the everc. High temperatures and frequent green floods have turned these vast tropical floodplains into become a breeding ground for a diverse network of plants and animals among the trees and extensive mangrove forests that house more than 50 distinct types of reptiles including snakes and crocodiles, all natural prey. Thoughts for the titanoboa Assuming the titanoboa survived into the modern era, it could still live in Colombia's vast jungle through flooded forests and warm rivers around the Amazon rainforest today, which may be drier cooler and less vegetated than it was millions of years ago but it is still a tropical region that is humid and warm all year round with an average temperature of 22 to 28 degrees Celsius and an annual rainfall of up to 200 cm of rainforest The Amazon is a wonderland rich in flora and fauna, home to many creatures that humans have not yet classified. Theoretically titanoboa can also hunt and live somewhere deep in the Hung Thinh forests. but today's Titan noboa may no longer be the same as the monsters of the past. Some animals like the African lungfish have survived and remained largely unchanged throughout its 400 million years of history but the lungfish is The exception rather than the rule, most organisms have gradually changed in response to fluctuations in their respective ecosystems over time. The strongest and most resilient organisms will survive and reproduce. naturally passed on their genes while weaker organisms would decline and become extinct during the mid to late Pelosin era. The largest and heaviest titanoboa may have died out, unable to cope with the phenomenon. global cooling loss of habitat and and other changes in their populations but the smallest titanoboa Needed less energy to survive and may have lived after the pelosin epoch the yosin boundary and passed on its genotype They suggest to future generations that after millions of years of natural selection, the Titanoboa's modern relatives may be more similar to today's Moon species than their ancestors. Millions of years have passed since the Titanoboa roamed the forests. Abundant in South America, the fossils we study today are a chilling reminder of how the environmentalist institute at the right time can create favorable conditions for the most astonishing feats of evolution. That time and place have passed into the distant past, but years later the Titanoboa remains the largest and most fearsome snake to ever roam the forests of the earth.
