A fossil of the “largest snake to ever have existed” has been present in western India.
Twenty-seven vertebrae belonging to a 15-metre-long non-venomous creature scientists have named Vasuki indicus – longer than a T Rex – had been found in Panandhro, Gujarat.
Debajit Datta, postdoctoral researcher in palaeontology on the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, stated: ” Vasuki was a slow-moving ambush predator that might subdue its prey via constriction like anacondas and pythons.
“This snake lived in a marshy swamp close to the coast at a time when international temperatures had been greater than as we speak.”
