Strangest Beasts to Ever Die

A collection of strange animals whose fossils have been discovered.

More than 99 percent of all species that have lived on Earth are now extinct. Sometimes extinctions actually accelerate the evolution of life on Earth. As some forms of life weaken and die off, they create opportunity for other species to grow and flourish. Take a look at these creatures and imagine what life would be like if they had survived!

Fossils Of Giant Snake Discovered

Rocks beneath a coal mine in Colombia have yielded fossils of what could be the world's largest snake, a relative of today's boa constrictor. The giant snake ate crocodiles and was longer than a London bus.

It weighed 1.25 tonnes and with a length of 45 feet or more it would have been able to take on and eat pretty much any other animal it came across. LINK
