Titano-What?

Titanoboa!

Sounds crazy, right?

But wait . . . 

"From a fossil bed 60 million years old comes the largest

snake in the world -- Titanoboa!  Measuring 48 feet long and weighing up to 2,500 pounds,

this massive predator could crush and devour a crocodile!!!"

Whoa!  

Seriously people -- this Smithsonian exhibit 

(yes, I am name-dropping here)

 is in Lincoln, Nebraska!

Get out your maps or GPS and head out here!

It is amazing!

Maddy and I went to Morrill Hall 

(one of Lincoln's secret treasures) last Sunday

to see the Titanoba reptile and

also visit the "Sunday With a Scientist" exhibit.

It was cold, but there was a line out the door, down the stairs

and down the block!

And when you went inside, you found out why --

What an incredible massive creature!

You know how they said it could eat a crocodile (see above),

they stuffed a crocodile in its mouth to show how Titany did it.

And Sunday with a Scientist (a monthly program)

- how cool is that?

I know, now you all want to move to Nebraska, right??

Holy cow -- we saw and touched a 50-pound, 12-foot yellow python (alive)

and a 40-pound, 12-foot red-tailed boa (also alive)!

Eeek!

We love that museum -- it is so fun

to go there and see the animal exhibits and Nebraksy stuff.

Awesome!

Just as I feared,
after seeing that gigantic snake, I had a nightmare

the other night that Titanoboa moved into my backyard!!  

Yikes!!!
