The Largest Snake in the World Has Invaded the United States

[longship]

22. Titanoboa?

Titanoboa (great name, BTW).

Largest snake that ever lived -- that we know about.

Of course, we all know why the anacondas are there.

The Evergrades had a mouse problem, an invasive species that was decimating the native flora. So the state of Florida released house cats into the Everglades to get rid of the insidious mice. But then, the cats began eating all the native water fowl. So they brought in feral dogs the get rid of the cats. The dogs were devastating to indigenous weasels, so they brought in pythons to get rid of the dogs. Now the pythons are a huge problem, so they've brought in anacondas to get rid of the pythons.

The latest in this story is to get rid of the anacondas they'll have to import elephants. But they also do huge environmental damage. Fortunately, the solution is simple. Import mice to scare off the elephants.

Problem solved.
