#thecosmosnews Have you ever wondered the age of Earth? It's 4.543 billion years. This life-giving planet has seen so many ages come and go, witnessing the rise and fall of species, the shifting of continents, and the evolution of life over billions of years.

During this evolution, this planet was once the homeland of the world’s largest snake in the world. Titanoboa. This largest snake in the world used to live 60–58 million years ago in what's now called Colombia. Its fossil was discovered in the early 2000s.

But in 2005, a million-year-old fossil was discovered in the Kutch district of Gujarat, India. This fossil was analysed by experts, and their analysis suggests that this was the fossil of Vasuki Indicus, which turned out to be one of the largest snakes that ever existed on Earth.

However, between them, who is the largest snake that lived on Earth and was considered the apex predator? Let’s find out.
