World’s Largest Snake Vasuki 15 Meters. Now for a long time you guys probably knows that Titana Bua was the biggest snake species in the world. His length was more than 14 meter and if Titan Bua was sitting in ambush then it could once have taken down even a dinosaur like Tyrex but Recently, such a discovery has been found in India, such fossils of an ancient snake have been found which have completely changed our understanding about history.
Titana Bua was not the biggest snake in history, this title goes to Vasuki . Recently in the research of IIT It has been found out that Vasuki was actually the longest and largest snake in the history of the earth. All together it was a different type of beach. Now at what time did Vasuki exist in India? Why did it become so big in size? Why did it take years to know that the world’s largest snake, Vasuki , existed in India, was on Indian soil, in our country, see, we used to conduct
exploration on palaeontologist. Now, first of all, let me show you a very interesting map. 50 million years ago, the map of the Earth used to be like the world map we see today. You will be able to notice how different this world map is. Many parts of Europe are submerged in water, the Indian subcontinent which is modern today.
Day is Republic of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and even Sri Lanka. These have not yet collided with Eurasia, which means the Himalayan Mountains have not even been formed yet. Many parts of Africa are submerged in water. Many parts of South America are submerged in water. This is complete. It was a different world, the temperature of the earth was very high, there was no trace of humans, leave Homo sapient, you will not even find cave man in this era.
On the whole earth, either there were body creatures or there were mammals which were very slow in their evolution. I will tell you more about this also, but first of all, let us see a size comparison to see how much bigger Vasuki was than a Titan Bua. We assume the maximum size to be a Tatana Bua, which lived 60 million years from today.
Primer used to exist earlier in the modern day South American continent. Its maximum size is considered to be around 14 to 14.5 meters whereas Vasuki was convincingly bigger in size than 15 meters. Scientists believe this today and obviously if you If you compare a human being with and Tatana Bua, then it will be nothing in size.
If there was a human being in front of these two huge snakes, then there would be no chances for it to survive and the most interesting thing is that when the Penologist By the way Paleontologist is a person who studies fossils. When the fossils of Vasuki were first found, there is a lignite mine in the Kuchh area of Gujarat.
There suddenly these fossil remains were found. Initially Penologist was found by the scientist. It felt that most probably it was a crocodile. It must have been a crocodile because of the size of the bones. The scientists and pathologists were not able to imagine that a snake could be so big in size because if it was a snake then its size would definitely be bigger than that of Titana Bua.
It would have been bigger and many people were not ready to accept this. Gradually, more discoveries were made and studies were done and it was discovered that what we were considering to be a crocodile was actually a snake and then finally it was also given a name, Vasuki. This is very interesting. You must have seen the images of Lord Shiva’s idol many times and you must have noticed that there is always a snake on his shoulders near his neck.
Now what is this snake? Its name is Vasuki and in Hindu religion it is believed that Vasuki He is the King of All Serpents, the most powerful snake and also the most famous snake. You will find the description in it as well. Although Vasuki is called by a different name in Japanese and Chinese language, but they also believe that exactly one snake like monster used to exist and in Chinese and Japanese language, Vasuki is called by different names.
In mythology, it is believed that it was the eighth great dragon, so now you must have understood why when the world’s largest snake was found, it was decided that its name would be Vasuki because it was discovered in India and as much as this ancient snake was found. The creature’s fossils have been studied.
We have also found out that its method of attack would have been similar to that of a modern day anaconda. With such a large body, most probably it would not have made fast attacks, it would have been sitting in ambush and the way anaconda He just waits for his prey as if he comes completely close to him and immediately kills him with his complete strength.
Vasuki would also do the same type of attack and if your question here is whether Vasuki has ever used Dinosaurs or Then you must have killed a big dinosaur. Look, let me make one thing clear here. In reality, we have to understand one thing here that dinosaurs became extinct from the entire earth between 66 to 69 million years ago and the fossils of Vasuki found are believed to be around 47 to 48 million years old. Most probably, Vasuki would not have even seen any dinosaur.
If we follow the contemporary timeline, then the same conclusion can be reached. Now your next question will be that if there were dinosaurs in the time of Vasuki , then they were so small in size. How did the well become big? There are many reasons for this. The biggest reason is I would say the role of climate.
Snakes are cold blooded creatures. They need heat from the environment to survive. You must have noticed snakes. You will not find snakes around Antarctica, usually. They are found only in warmer climates and since the temperature of the earth was very high at that time, then by default the metabolism of this species made such adjustments that the size of this species kept increasing and at the same time I have to add that since the earth But there were no big dinosaurs at that time, otherwise Vasuki was the alpha species. In the food pyramid,
you can say that there are some species at the top which are not hunted, they just hunt the rest. One of them would be Vasuki . And the scientist has also recently said that most probably Vasuki would have come to Wales, not the modern day huge Wales.
By evolving, Wales became a complete aquatic and interestingly, modern day Wales is the beginning of this region of modern day India and Pakistan. It was here that you can imagine how favorable the situation would have been for Vasuki , its hunter. There is no one, whatever mammals or creatures are around, they are much smaller in size than this, so there was no shortage of food, the climate was in its favor, so it kept increasing in size continuously and if your question here is that how did Vasuki become extinct?
See how it happened, species come and become extinct quite often. Due to various reasons, there were some changes in the climate and apart from that, we also have to understand that very soon the place where Vasuki Ind was on which continent was affected by Vasuki Ind. This continent was going to collide with the Eurasia continent and a very big geological event was also going to happen which would have brought a big change in the climate and food supply and snakes like Vasuki had emerged, although obviously snakes if
we talk about them as a reptile today. They are also alive everywhere, they are just no longer of the size that snakes like Vasuki used to be at one time and if your question here is that should we talk about Vasuki now, okay once upon a time. There must have been a snake in India 50 million years ago.
What should we see? This is an industry today which we are not tapping. Today, the whole world, Europe, US, China, Japan, articles are being written everywhere about Vasuki , here you are. You will be able to see the article of CNA World – Colossal Prehistoric Snake Discovered in India. The whole world is talking that a snake bigger than Titana Bua has been found in India.
See, tourism is gathered from this. There are many countries around the world which have created the industry of dinosaur tourism. USA is its prime exam. Dinosaur fossils are found anywhere in USA. These people set up a complete museum. Tourists come to the museum. Visitors come and revenue is generated. Let me tell you in India also, we have many small cities and villages.
If there is a discovery of a dinosaur or an ancient creature like Vasuki , then this discovery alone can have a big impact on the economy of that entire area. You can build a museum there and invite paleontologists there. There should be hotels there for their stay. There should be proper place to study. You will see that people from all over the world will come to India, spend money in India and the name of India will also become famous as an important destination for Pellet Zinc. Remember, India is now in India.
Discovery has not been made, we have not yet properly dug the soil of our country, we do not know what mysteries are buried, which ancient dinosaurs were here, which ancient creatures were there, about whom Perhaps the whole world does not have the idea yet, so this is an untapped industry. We should definitely tap into it and this will benefit our country by millions upon billions of dollars in the long term.
Here I will ask you a question that in this term Is Dinosaur or it was called Dinosauria at that time in 1842? Who was the first to coin this term?
Here is your

Option B. Richard Owen,
Option C. Mary Stuart or
Option D. Charles Darwin.
