And it's so big its folded to fit.Information uploaded with the clip claims the creature slithered out of a cave AFTER construction crews building a dam rigged an explosion there.And it said the massive predator weighed nearly half a ton, measured 32ft from end to end and was a metre across in places.Now it seems the huge cobra could have been the largest snake ever, with bulges in its body clear signs of its voracious appetite.While an official record is hard to come by, Guinness World Records lists the longest snake – measured in 2011 – as being eight feet shorter.
But the record holder, Medusa, is only the confirmed king of captive snakes, being owned by Full Moon Productions in Kansas City, Missouri.The new discovery was reportedly found by builders at Brazil's Belo Monte Dam, which will be one of the world's largest on completion.Sitting across the Xingu River deep in the Amazon rainforest, it has caused controversy because it will cause hundreds of square miles of flooding.And construction crews are now under fire for not keeping the creature alive.Lucas Nunes said: "The guys in addition to destroying the habitat, kill the animal."While William Santos wrote: "If it was a fisherman killing the snake, he took a fine, but as it is a large company, nobody does anything."And Rulian Lopes Garcia said: "That's A crime. a large company like that should have people trained to handle such an animal.

Idaho Museum of Natural History Shows Off Prehistoric Snake Replica and Fossil of 60-Million-Year-Old Snake
Slithering in at 48 feet long and weighing an estimated one-and-a-half tons, a realistic replica of the world’s largest snake is on exhibit at Idaho Museum of Natural History (IMNH) at Idaho State University (ISU) between March 19 and June 12, 2016. Sixty million years ago, in the era after the mass extinction of the dinosaurs, scientists believe that a colossal snake related to modern boa constrictors thrived in a hot tropical climate.
“Can you imagine a snake so big it could swallow a whole crocodile?! I can’t wait to see this monster in Pocatello!” said Leif Tapanila, Director of IMNH.
“Titanoboa: Monster Snake” includes the snake replica and two vertebrae casts made from the original fossils: a 17-foot-long modern green anaconda and the vertebra from Titanoboa, as the giant snake is called. Videos produced by the Smithsonian Channel tell the story of this amazing scientific discovery. The exhibition is a collaboration between the Florida Museum of Natural History, the University of Nebraska, and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. “Titanoboa” will travel to 15-cities on a national tour organized by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service.
