===Here is a link to the Smithsonian Channel. This full-length video is really cool if you are interested in paleontology, the study of fossils. Apparently, not much was known about life on earth after the disappearance of the dinosaurs, at least the 10 million years after the age of dinosaurs. An accidental discovery in Cerrejon, Colombia changed all that. Turtles with shells the size of a pool table were discovered...how about an 48 foot-long snake. This snake, Titanoboa, the longest snake in world history, is the focus of this discovery. If you like this kind of stuff, you will like this video.=== Titanoboa: Monster Snake
