Event Description

Join us for the final day of Titanoboa: Monster Snake!

Deep underground in a Colombian coal mine, scientists have uncovered remains of the largest snake in the world, Titanoboa cerrejonensis. Titanoboa haunted the rain forest during the Paleocene, the lost world that followed the demise of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. Stand eye-to-eye with a full-scale model of this massive predator, which at 48 feet long and 2,500 pounds could crush and devour a crocodile. Crawl through a Titanoboa-sized tunnel, see live snakes, and check out authentic snake specimens from the depths of the Academy’s collections. This fearfully fun exhibition delves into Titanoboa’s discovery and reconstruction, as well as what scientists have learned from this enormous reptile.

Titanoboa: Monster Snake runs from February 14–April 19, 2015. Learn more.
