    I Know Paleo Episode 36: Titanoboa

    Titanoboa is a surprisingly close relative to the previous I Know Paleo topic—Mosasaurus. They are both squamates and neither of them are known to be venomous. Titanoboa is the largest snake in the fossil record and one of the biggest reptiles to live after the K–Pg mass extinction, growing up to 42–47 feet (13–14 m) long and possibly weighing over one ton. It was likely semi-aquatic and probably ate mostly fish (evidenced by its grippy closely packed teeth). However, it may have also have preyed on crocodilians and turtles, constricting them like modern boas while using an extra flexible jaw to swallow them whole.

    DD10: Dinosaur Art updates

    People started making art with dinosaurs as soon as they were first described. Megalosaurus in particular has gone through quite the transformation over the years. We also discuss some dinosaur sculptures and the history of some famous skeletal mounts.
