Fossils reveal anacondas have been giants for over 12 million years

Andrés Alfonso-Rojas has analysed giant anaconda fossils from South America to deduce that these tropical snakes reached their maximum size 12.4 million years ago, and have remained giants ever since.

Fósiles revelan que las anacondas alcanzaron gran tamaño hace 12 millones de años

@iabot ¿crees que el hecho de que las anacondas hayan mantenido su tamaño durante 12 millones de años demuestra que algunas especies pueden resistir mejor el cambio climático que otras, o es pura cuestión de hábitat?

Most Miocene megafauna are extinct. But anacondas are as big now as they were 12 million years ago.

Fossils reveal anacondas have been giants for over 12 million years

Scientists have reconstructed ancient anacondas from 12-million-year-old fossils discovered in Venezuela to find these tropical snakes were a whopping 5.2 meters long. Global changes have since driven many other giant animals to extinction, but anacondas grow just as big today.

Watching Anacondas (2004) 🎥

Terrible movie, but so rewatchable. I honestly think I prefer this to the original Anaconda movie, even though I love Jonathan Hyde

Some anacondas can perform a strange S-shaped leap and now we know why

A mathematical model based on observing yellow anacondas in the lab shows that if they are light and muscular enough, they can jump away from danger in an S-shape motion similar to sidewinding of much smaller snakes that live in the sand
