Meet Vasuki Indicus, a massive serpent discovered in Gujarat, India, that may have grown up to 49 feet long. Named after the mythical snake King Vasuki, this terrifying predator hunted huge prey like ancient deer and crocodile-like reptiles in the tropical wetlands of Eocene India. In this video, we’ll uncover its incredible story—how it was discovered, how it lived, and how it compares to the legendary Titanoboa. And it leaves us wondering: could even bigger creatures still be waiting to be found?
