Titanoboa could grow up to 12.8 m (42 ft) long, perhaps even up to 14.3 m (47 ft) long, and weigh around 730–1,135 kg (1,610–2,500 lb). The discovery of Titanoboa cerrejonensis supplanted the previous record holder, Gigantophis garstini, which is known from the Eocene of Egypt.
The former equation resulted in a body length range of 10.9–12.2 metres (36–40 feet), while the latter equation resulted in a body length range of 14.5–15.2 metres (48–50 feet). [2] Although the vertebral dimensions of Vasuki are smaller than those of Titanoboa (estimated at 12.8 m (42 ft) ± 2.2 m (7 ft 3 in)), the largest length ...
Using a different vertebral landmark of another vertebra, the the cotylar width of NHMUK PV R 9870, produced a length estimate of 12.3 metres (40 ft). • Titanoboa cerrejonensis is an extinct boid only known from large vertebrae and skull material, but size estimates suggest it is one of the largest snakes known. In 2009, Jason Head and ...
