A snake turned into a python, Cheng Jiao! This is the largest python in prehistoric times. Can I call it "dragon"?
I believe many people are afraid of pythons. Although pythons are not poisonous, they can easily kill their prey with their huge body and powerful explosive force, even more powerful than poisonous snakes in a sense, so many people are very afraid of pythons. But, you know what? Are there any pythons on the earth at present? Miniature version? Yes, their ancestors can really be called? Python? .

How big can pythons be on the earth at present? It is understood that the largest python on the earth is the green python, which is only a few tens of meters long and can weigh two or three hundred kilograms. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, this number is already huge, but in fact, compared with the ancestor titanoboa of the python, it is simply one? Babies? .

Titan Amorphophallus is a very fierce animal, but they died out a long time ago, so we can't see the elegance of Titan Amorphophallus. However, in order to reproduce the prestige of this prehistoric python, some scientists made an equal-scale model based on its fossils.

After the model was made, scientists discovered the use of titanoboa? Dragon? This is a perfect description, because titanoboa is almost 18 meters long, even longer than a big truck. If it still exists in this world, it is quite dangerous for human beings.

It is understood that there were many fierce animals in the era when Titan Amorphophallus lived, but Titan Amorphophallus can still become one of the top creatures in the food chain with its own attack power. However, cold-blooded animals are cold-blooded animals after all. Titanoboa has very high temperature requirements and must live in an environment of 25-40 degrees, otherwise it is likely to freeze to death. Because of this, in the later environmental changes, Titan Amorphophallus became extinct because it could not adapt to the change of temperature.

But fortunately, it has been destroyed in titanoboa, otherwise human beings will be miserable. However, some scientists expressed their hope to find the DNA of titanoboa, so as to revive it and reproduce its elegance. I have to say that these scientists are really crazy.
