Pity - still my calculation of 7.5 meters in the other thread wasn't far wrong

The largest species of snake ever known to exist is Giganthopis gastini. A foselized speciem was found that messured 36ft. That's as big as they have ever been. One could draw a conclusion that a living specimen over that length is extremly unlikely entering into impossible. It's closest relative is the African Rock Python (Python sebae). I don't think that anyone was really surprised about the final messurement though.

Well I don't believce the Guardian, they just want to make it worse for an already downtrodden Nation ! I think we should send someone with some credibility to measure this elastic snake. Now, let's see, who can we send? Crikey I just can't think of anyone  |

I like the line "[Darmanto's story] is exceedingly consistent. These giant pythons always shrink whenever a tape measure turns up." Appeals to the cynical part of me
