Titanoboa: Monster Snake - Titanoboa Vs. T-Rex

It's the ultimate battle of the predators - the monster snake's unbelievable power against the tyrannosaurus' giant bite. They lived in different times and places, but if they ever met, who would win?

Funny thing is, when this was made, paleontologists thought Titanoboa was an apex predator, whereas it's now assumed it was primarily a fish eater

Props to the cameraman for time-travelling and standing in the middle of the fight just to bring us this footage

The fact that this is even a question is ridiculous. A fully grown T REX is like literally one of the craziest things nature has ever created.

They need to make an actual movie of Titanaboa just like we got The Meg :)

"It could mortally wound the snake"
*Video shows the t-rex gently placing its mouth on the snake*

Who else watched this at a young age and just loved it

Thanks to the camera man for the footage.

Depends on where the encounter took place. Modern day anacondas are slow and clumsy on land, and the titanoboa was likely more so due to its tremendous mass. They were probably aquatic predators. So if it caught the T Rex taking a bath, I'll give it to the snake. On land, T Rex all day.

Three Eiffel towers?
What's that in African elephants or London busses?

A snake the size of the Titanoboa can never have this kind of agility as depicted in the video. It's movements wd be much much slower... The vid makes it look like the body of a Titanoboa and the agility of a black mamba, which is impossible

Man so much nostalgia, I remember running away from the Trex to get to school during the Jurassic period. Ah! Good ol' days....

[meaflowers]

8 years later and i still think this is the best video animation on the internet. no one can convince me otherwise

[jevilz]

I keep asking myself why a Titanoboa would attack a Trex he couldn't even swallow a trex

[ilygora]

i watched this for the first time when i was 6, now im 15 and i remember how badass i felt going to school telling my classmates about the TitanoBoa🥲

[anximqe]

Who remembers watching this when they were young

[vincentloy]

in the last scene, the snake is just giving t-rex a hug

Me: * Is bored stuck in quarantine *
Smithsonian Channel: Hey

[water]

I don't think Titanoboa would be quick enough to wrap itself around a T rex in time before the dinosaur could attack. Maybe in water, but that wouldn't be a fair fight.

Thank you Smithsonian for this amazingly accurate depiction of how a snake would somehow be able to teleport around a t-rex and strangle it to death hahaha
