Titanoboa could grow up to 12.8 m (42 ft) long, perhaps even up to 14.3 m (47 ft) long, and weigh around 730–1,135 kg (1,610–2,500 lb). The discovery of Titanoboa cerrejonensis supplanted the previous record holder, Gigantophis garstini, which is known from the Eocene of Egypt.
• Titanoboa cerrejonensis is an extinct boid only known from large vertebrae and skull material, but size estimates suggest it is one of the largest snakes known. In 2009, Jason Head and colleagues estimated it at ~12.8 metres (42 ft) (+/-2.18 m) by regression analysis that compared vertebral width against body lengths for extant boine snakes.
The film's estimation is off by a couple million years both in its extinction date and its oldest dinosaur fossil date. Dinosaurs the Terrible Lizards says that the oldest dinosaur fossils were about 225 million years old, as of 2024 a 233 million year old [1] dinosaur fossil was found in Brazil. The film says that dinosaurs went extinct 70 ...

Scientists believe they may have uncovered the first known incident of a mammal being eaten by a dinosaur. Palaeontologists in the UK have analysed fossil remains from around 120 million years ago ...
Mallon and Anderson postulated that Ankylosaurs and Ceratopsids may have partitioned the herb layer in the Dinosaur Park Formation, or that Ceratopsid feeding height was slightly higher. [21] As well as suggesting that the Ornithopods might have made room for the passing Ceratopsid herds by rising up to avoid ecological competition.
