00:00 Tyrannosaurus, one of history's most fearsome mega predators.
00:06 But now, a new discovery joins the ranks of killer carnivores.
00:12 And this one was a genuine giant.
00:14 48 feet long, weighing over a ton, the largest prehistoric snake ever found, Titanoboa.
00:24 T. rex and Titanoboa lived in different times and on separate continents.
00:30 But what if these two monsters met in a battle to the death?
00:34 T. rex brings to the fight a bone-crushing jaw, a bite force nearly twice a great white
00:40 shark's, powerful legs, and a thrashing tail.
00:45 Titanoboa's attack didn't depend on poisonous venom.
00:48 It killed by constriction.
00:50 And this mega serpent squeezed with a crushing 400 pounds per square inch of pressure, equivalent
00:57 to being squished with the weight of three Eiffel Towers.
01:02 How would this death match conclude?
01:04 Difficult to say.
01:06 If T. rex got in a swift bite, it could mortally wound the snake.
01:10 But with the right ambush, Titanoboa might trip up the T. rex and succeed in overpowering
01:17 the great lizard king.
