If you also consider Titanoboa to be the largest snake on the Earth, then you must read this article today, because today you will know about one such snake that is considered even bigger than Titanoboa in size. You probably know Percy Fawcett, who was such an explorer whose almost entire life was spent searching in the forests of the Amazon. He was looking for a mysterious city called "The Lost City of Z" and it is believed that this city was covered entirely in gold. But due to this curiosity, Fawcett met some such creatures whose talks we have only heard in stories and one of these creatures was the giant snake of the Amazon. The length of this snake was described by Fawcett to be about 65 feet, and the diameter was at least one foot, which he claimed to see in the Amazon river.
Fawcett claimed in 1906 that he had seen and shot a 65-foot-long snake in the Amazon River, but then suddenly this giant snake disappeared into the depths of the river right before his eyes and was never seen again. But this was not the only incident when such a large snake was seen, in 1992, a temple priest also claimed to have seen a 75-feet long snake in the Amazon forest, a snake whose tales were already famous among the tribals of amazon. The tribals here have also been claiming to have seen a giant snake in this forest for a long time, but the problem is that no one has been able to give firm evidence of the existence of this snake. Now in such a situation, if this snake is called the father of Titanoboa, then it will not be wrong. As if you compare its size with Titanoboa, then where the total length of the fossil of Titanoboa was 42 feet, the length of this snake is said to be around 75 feet. But some accounts even described this snake as longer than in Fawcett’s description, reaching over 100 feet long.

Scientists have declared Titanoboa extinct if seen in terms of current earth's conditions, but scientists have not yet guessed whether or not this snake is there. Now this question must be arising in your mind why the explorers have not been able to locate this snake yet, then the answer is quite simple as this snake was seen in the jungles of the Amazon. You must be aware that both the Amazon forest and the Amazon river are so big in the area that no one has been able to know about their secrets till date. If you feel that these claims of seeing this snake are false, then let us tell you that explorer Percy Fawcett, who claimed to have seen it in 1906, was such an explorer, who spent his entire life searching in the Amazon forest. Therefore it would probably be our mistake to doubt their words. Not only this, but Percy Fawcett had also seen many other mysterious animals in this forest, which are unknown to zoology. He also claimed of seeing the giant Apazauca spider which was said to have poisoned a number of locals.
