Fossils reveal anacondas have been giants for over 12 million years Andrés Alfonso-Rojas has analysed giant anaconda fossils from South America to deduce that these tropical snakes reached their maximum size 12.4 million years ago, and have remained giants ever since.

Fantastic work by #HeadLab PhD student Andrés Alfonso Rojas!

Anacondas have been (resiliently) giant since at least the middle Mioncene.
