Scientists have unearthed the fossilized remains of an enormous snake, believed to be one of the largest of its kind ever found.



In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists in India have unearthed the fossilized remains of an enormous snake, believed to be one of the largest of its kind ever found. This colossal creature, dubbed Vasuki indicus, stretches an astonishing 50 feet in length, dwarfing its modern-day relatives like pythons.

The findings, published in the journal Scientific Reports, shed light on the prehistoric biodiversity of the Indian subcontinent.

Researchers hailing from the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee stumbled upon a remarkably well-preserved segment of the snake's vertebral column. Dr. Rajesh Kumar, lead author of the study, expressed excitement over the find, describing it as "excellently preserved."

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

False subject title.  No "snake" was found, but rather a fossilized skeleton.  You should not mislead.
