Titanoboa: Monster Snake
This exhibit was on display January 26, 2013, through August 11, 2013
Florida Museum of Natural History scientists discovered 60-million-year-old remains of the largest snake in the world, Titanoboa cerrejonensis, in a Colombian coal mine. Measuring 48 feet long and weighing 2,500 pounds, this massive predator could crush and devour a crocodile.
The Titanoboa: Monster Snake exhibit tells the incredible story of this massive creature. Visitors are still talking about this one!
Featuring a full-scale model of Titanoboa and clips from a Smithsonian Channel documentary, the exhibit delved into the discovery, reconstruction and implications of this enormous reptile. Fossil plants and other animals found at the site revealed an early rain forest teeming with life and dating to the Paleocene, the lost world that followed the demise of the dinosaurs.
The exhibition is a collaboration between the Florida Museum, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. It is circulated by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service.
