I came across a rather interesting ancient fossil story from South America this morning as I was opening up the news.
According to the report, no modern day snake comes close to it's size. I know I'm not really a great fan of snakes but it is fascinating to read about ancient fossils.
The report says "Modern-day anacondas have nothing on this baby - a behemoth estimated to have been 13 metres long and weighing in at more than a tonne." Just imagine something larger than a bus and equaling a Tyrannosaurus rex snout to tail.
In other news, as soon as we both got better, it got worse. P and I are both on the mend again but we are hoping to be back into normal soon. Oh well...
Very fascinating - very hard to imagine :-)
ReplyDeleteGet well soon - both of you!

Now THAT looks like somethin I'd like to keep as a pet - NOT!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you both get well soon. Over here the big flu seems to be over soon. It didn't bring me down though, I just had a slight sniffle last week.
I was always fascinated by the prehistoric era. Wouldn't have wanted to run into one of those, though :)
ReplyDeleteI'm still fighting my flu but hope it gets better by tomorrow as I have to drive to Holland.
The story was everywhere this morning in Argentina, and I had breakfast staring at huge snakes on TV :-)
