- Join us as we journey across the globe to find the real life biggest snake that ever lived! We debunk a whole host of myths, fake news, hoaxes and misconceptions along the way!
What's the biggest Python? What's the biggest Anaconda? What's the biggest snake that ever existed? What do they eat and what's the size comparison to real world things?
Plenty of fake images and orchestrated hoaxes are always doing the rounds, and we expose what's true and what's false. We also take a look at the size of Hollywood movie snakes and how they compare to real world snakes.

I will NOT make a joke about length vs girth. I will NOT.
Well the channel already made the joke so you dont need to
Every prehistoric creature was somehow gigantic compared to similar creatures today.
The prehistoric creatures that catch our attention perhaps. But most creatures start really small. Think of horses or whales.
I heard it's because the past had more oxygen which helped to grow the creatures' sizes.
Not sure, apart from not being able to walk up a flight of plane stairs, Hillary Clinton is a relatively small ‘human’
Once again a great video Stu! Really learned a lot and i just want to thank you to you and your team for making such funny and informative video's! Can't wait till the next one!!
Those are such kind words! Thank you Nordin!
Doesn't the Smithsonian museum have a million dollar reward for a snake over 30 feet?
Maybe that's why there are so many fakes 🤔
@@DebunkedOfficiallol
What I'd like to know is if those giant snakes are as fast as The one portrayed in anaconda
Generally Hollywood always gets crap wrong..
That's an interesting factor 🤔
Hollywood doesnt get it wrong. its just that for them all that matters is the entertainment value and not the historical accuracy.
@Cru3her it's disappointing because hollywood could use it's content to entertain and low-key educate at the same time. Whatever you see there is going to stick a lot better then what you learn in school.
im exited about the video you mentioned, ill stay tuned!
Watch this space...
Hi do you have any connection to the old all time conspiracy channel?
I think I recognised the voice over as being a guy from that channel.
I’m trying to get hold of a copy of the video made about the Big Grey man of Ben Mcduhi !
I’m planning a trip up to it next year early summer and would like to make my own video about it and use the original video as reference.
If you could help in any way or put me in touch with the team that made it that would be fantastic.
Thanks.
I'm disappointed that you didn't address if anacondas do indeed don't want none unless you got buns.
😂
Underated channel.
So true...
Thank you! Hopefully we'll climb that ladder again!
Search For Vasuka snake's fossils recently founded In India..
They were more bigger then boa..
Kindly make a video on it pls😅
Some "FAKE" snake editors also make "FAKE" photos that a snake is as big as Earth 🌍
11 year old me thinks that then how earth isn't depopulated?
Lol 🤣
lol, it wouldn't take long!
I love your videos very Nice ❤️❤️❤️
Titanoboa.
Except constrictors don't "crush" their prey, They squeeze their prey tightly with the objective of stopping it from breathing and or stopping its heart from pumping.
At 6:16 i see you compared it to the global temperature from 1951-1980. Why did you choose that time interval and also what would the temperature comparison be if you compared it to today?
Thanks for your question. This was the most comprehensive survey/data that we could find at the time.
the global temp has barely change since then. at most its a 0.1 or 0.2 deg difference
Underrated
Feel like I just seen a Reddit post the other day with the exact same premise and info this video has 🤔
I guess we're on trend 😁
Was the video clip of the big snake hoisted on the construction equipment fake?
It's a real snake but it was likely not as big as claimed. Perspective made it seem much larger than it probably was.
A person survive in space without any suit how much time

Whaaaat? Those movies with giga snakes fighting each other and killing some humans on the way aren't real? 🤣
😂
Just a bit of relief and doom to think about - if we ever reach the average temperatures that allowed those giant ancient snakes to thrive, no one has to worry about it. Because most of humanity would be already dead, if not completely extinct.
We're already worried that it might be an extinction level event if Climate Change goes over the 3 degree Celsius threshold by the end of the century, with different potential chain of events causing total collapse of human societies...
Also, separate question - wasn't there a scientific formula to calculate what size different species of animals could reach based only on gravity effects and perhaps stuff like skin surface area and lung volume? I remember seeing something like this somewhere.
🤔 that's definitely worth looking into! Thanks 👌
lol
Did he call a snake an amphibian? 1:50 lol
Ophidians*
Correct, an Orphidian.
What is the biggest snake in the world that is scary
Constrictors asphyxiate their pray, not crush it.
could the drop in global temperature also make the snake in my pants grow larger?
Big yikes!
Titanoboa
So titanoboa can grow so big because of warmer world temperature?
Well, well, well, who is ready for giant snake apocalipse for 2023?
Also, i'm pretty sure that some reptiles including snakes are simply never stop growing as they live. Maybe you can look more in to it for future videos.
We have a video along these lines coming up 😉
In the year 8210 we can start seeing bigger snakes.
Nah, snake lovers like me will just pet the pupper face of that boop noodle and make frens with it. No apocalypse
Animals really can't do anything against us, they still have biological body while we have firearms
biggest snake? - SNAKE-OIL!!!
Ba dum tss 🥁
That's a big long puppy
Im from phil. is see an bigges snakes ever i seen before in multalban
How big?
Maybe when you have to say "even the media reported" like 6 times you should figure out the media isn't very trustworthy and stop using that as some way to legitimize things
I googled biggest snake and there was a picture in my man parts!!
Nah the biggest one is my trouser snake
Is that seek 0:05

This is why I don't go outside

Snakes 🗿🦂
Okay time to stop global warming.
😆 Maybe this could be the environmental campaign!
That's an easy question: it's my ex, obviously.
Burn
We need titanoboas in more movies
I can't agree more!
Time to increase global warming
😆
I'm glad these monsters are extinct
It would be pretty cool, but terrifying if there were still around
I personally measured an Anaconda that was a bit over 9 meters in 1968 or 1969. I really don't know where you got your silly 5 to 6 meters from.

Average global climate was 10 degrees Celsius hotter than today? Those dinosaurs must have had a huge carbon footprint!
Also, the world did not end at that temperature.
When we talk about world ending today, its more from a view of human civilization as we know it. Earth and life will of course continue and might even flourish after human beings are gone. Human beings are worried more about their existence. If temperatures had remained that high, human beings and other warm blooded mammals would probably never have come into existence and cold blooded reptiles would still be ruling the earth
Biggest snake is in my pants, 2 inches long, coincidentally, my last name is Long. 🤣
I love vids like this. Proves climate change is not man-made, but occurs naturally. Thanks for the bona fetus.
Why can't it be both? There is a lot of pollution. Trees and plants do make things cooler. Watch DW Planet A.
