A kind of snake · also called Titanoboa cerrejonensis
About
Titanoboa was a prehistoric giant snake that grew over 40 feet long and weighed more than a ton.
Titanoboa is the largest snake known to science, dwarfing all modern boas and pythons. Today's heaviest snake, the green anaconda, rarely tops 30 feet (9 m) or 500 pounds (227 kg). Researchers estimate that the warm equatorial climate of the Paleocene epoch allowed this cold-blooded reptile to grow to such unusual proportions. Its thickest parts were wide enough to rise nearly to an adult human's hip while resting flat on the ground.
From Wikipedia
Titanoboa is a genus of extinct giant boid snake that lived during the middle and late Paleocene epoch. Titanoboa was first discovered in the early 2000s by members of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, which – along with students from the University of Florida – recovered 186 fossils of Titanoboa from the Cerrejón coal mines in the La Guajira department of northeastern Colombia.

Quick answer
Titanoboa reached about 42 feet (12.8 m) in length, stood 2.6 feet (0.8 m) tall, and weighed roughly 2,500 pounds (1,135 kg). This makes it as long as a standard full-size school bus and about five times heavier than the largest modern anacondas.
