Paleontologists at the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee have discovered a 47-million-year-old fossil of a giant snake in Gujarat, India, believed to be one of the largest snakes ever existed, estimated to be around 50 feet or 15 meters in length. Known as a Titanoboa, this significant find was unearthed from a coal mine in the Kachchh area in 2005.
