Gigantophis

genus of reptiles

Gigantophis was an extinct giant snake. Before the Paleocene constrictor genus Titanoboa was described from Colombia in 2009, Gigantophis was the largest snake of all time.

Gigantophis lived about 40 million years ago during the end of the Eocene period, in the Paratethys Sea. It was in what's now the northern Sahara, where Egypt and Algeria are present.[1]
