World’s Largest Prehistoric Snake

Fossil remains found in Gujarat suggest the existence of an exceptionally large prehistoric snake from the early Eocene epoch (around 47 million years ago).
The fossils were discovered in sedimentary rock layers formed during the Eocene, one of the warmest geological periods in Earth’s history.
Scientific analysis places the snake in the madtsoiid group (an extinct family of giant snakes).
The discovery may redefine the debate on the world’s largest snake, as it highlights body bulk and strength, not just length.
