1.Habitat

Titanaboa mostly lived in water. It sometimes stayed on land to lay its eggs. The state it was found in was La Guajira Colombia. We don't know what it was like in Colombia 58-61 million years ago but we know that Titanaboa lived there. Titanaboa lived at the desert because the Ocean was right next to the desert, that's why it stayed in the water mostly because it was so hot because it was the desert there.

2.Diet

Titanaboa babies eat mostly small mammals and capybaras. They also probably ate fish. Titanaboa adults ate dinosaurs, big crocodiles, and 7 foot turtles. Also an adult would eat its babies because if one came out not healthy or dead, it would eat it.

3. Body

Titanaboa was twice the size as the biggest snake today. It weighed almost 8 times bigger than the biggest Anaconda today. Titanaboa could reach to [4,500] thats 2,041 kilograms that's 9 Gorillas. They are named Titanaboa because the Titana is named after the titanic because it is so big. Titanaboa was 48 ft long and it could lift it's tail 6 ft high. It was 2 tons if it sat on you it would feel like 3 Eiffel towers. Titanaboa is a dark green snake and it had 40 teeth the size of a pointer finger. It's size was half a football field. It could open its mouth so big that it could swallow a motorcycle.

4. Defense

Titanaboa roamed around the water and ate things but animals thought they were safe because in the water they couldn't see well since the water was dark. They thought other animals could not see them. Titanaboa just looked like a piece of seaweed to them, but Titanaboa could see well. The other animal might try to attack TItanaboa but they would fail because Titanaboa was so quick in the water.

Titanaboa could quickly swipe under and trip up and squeeze its prey. That way it could quickly kill its prey and eat some of it. It wouldn't eat all of the meat because then it would be super full and not be able to attack anything else or protect itself.
