Can Titanoboa come back?

As the Earth's temperatures rise, there's a possibility the Titanoboa - or something like it - could make a comeback. But scientist Dr Carlos Jaramillo points out that it wouldn't happen quickly: "It takes geological time to develop a new species. It could take a million years - but perhaps they will!"

Is Titanoboa still alive in Amazon River?

Did Titanoboa live with T Rex?

Tyrannosaurus lived in North America during the late Cretaceous era around 66 to 68 million years ago. Titanoboas lived during the Paleocene era, after the extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs, in what is now Columbia around 60 million years ago. The two were separated by around seven million years.

Can T Rex defeat Titanoboa?

Definitely not many, if at all.
