That’s not the greatest example.. a Mountain Lion would be far better at killing an eagle than vis versa. It could stalk the bird from behind while it’s sitting on a low branch or something and easily kill it if it pounces correctly.
How is this a bad example for people this literally describes it perfectly lol, what is the eagle gonna do to the mountain lion scratch it? Lion could probably catch bro right out of the air lol
2:02 snakes can go without food for a LONG time, by virtue of not constantly burning fuel to maintain a fixed internal temperature. Plus, I doubt there would be that many in a single area at a time. Based on their closest equivalent today, the green anaconda, Titanoboa probably weren’t the most active hunters either, mostly sitting and waiting for prey before dispatching it.
Correct, also, there is one thing i'd like to add to this. They're prey was about as massive as they were. They were eating giant turtles, huge fish, and crocodiles that were about half their length. They had plenty of food.
@@thechikenman1836 Yeah, it's the same thing with a lot of other, now extinct predators. Saber toothed tigers also went extinct due to their prey going extinct, due to better adapted hunters (humans) taking them out. Humans reduced or eliminated a lot of the larger prey herds, which were also running into issues with the warming climate at the time. The saber tooth wasn't able to adapt to hunt smaller prey (at least not enough to last), and was out competed by the smaller predators. California condors are similar, in that they used to range across much of North America, but also needed the large prey animal carcasses to really survive. Smaller vultures were more able to survive with smaller carcasses, and have filled the full niche across the continent today. Another example is the thylacine (Tasmanian tiger) on Australia. Humans brought dingoes (basically as dogs) to Australia, and the dingoes (likely) out competed the thylacine on the continent. They managed to survive on Tasmania until Europeans came and killed the wild population off (the last survivor died in a zoo in 1936), since the thylacine were hunting the herds the colonists brought with them.
@@patrickdix772if I recall, there was never very much niche overlap between dingoes and thylacines though. Thylacines were nocturnal/crepuscular and mostly fed on birds. The competition would probably have been way more intense if European settlers hadn’t wiped out the Tasmanian emu within 30 years of arriving…
@idle_speculation it's all theoretical, since the thylacine went extinct on Australian around 2000 years ago (iirc). It may be a case of territorial fighting rather than food. It's also possible that the thylacines that lasted on Tasmania adapted to the prey they had available, while the ones on Australia died out do to competition. Regardless, it's all speculation.
A lot of people exaggerate the size of Titanaboa, The maximum (and i stress maximum) estimated size of Titanaboa was in the 12 meter range. But a far more realistic size put the snake at somewhere in the 10 meter range. The largest recorded modern snake was a reticulated python found in 1912 with a length of 9.75m's. So although Titanaboa was big ass snake, it's not mind boggling huge.
@@shosha101390 Britannica is doing exactly what i'm talking about. The size 12.82 if we want be exact. They rounded up. (although they are far from the worst offender) and that's a very high figure. The best fossil we have is from the Smithsonian and the actual fossil shows a 33-35 foot snake 10.05m-10.66m Unfortunately a lot ambitious figures have been accepted as fact with Titanoboa. For example take its weight estimate of 1,135Kg's which is routinely regurgitated. That figure isn't derived from any fossil data instead 2 snake species (one of which isn't even a Boid) were scaled up to the estimated size of Titanoboa and the mean difference between those 2 species was selected as the weight. The actual realistic weight of Titanoboa was around 750kg's and even this may be on the high side as we're assuming that since Titanoboa is classified as Boidae that should have weight proportions of other boids.
Still, the titanoboa weight 3-4 more than the heaviest snakes recorded and probably whit a wider body circumference. It's not a long snake despite still being the largest one actually recorded, but it was a fat one, a really fat one.
@@thenamesianna Don't worry it was dead when they measured it. The largest snakes today are around 6-7 meter range. Although in 2016 an 8 meter long reticulated python was found in Malaysia near a construction site.
reticulated pythons are absolutely huge. a big rabbit could however feed it for a decently long time. I am guessing something similar was the case for titanoboa
Definitely. Most animals we're familiar with are mammals. Mammals are EXTREMELY high energy burning. We're very active, we have massive brains (brains take a huge amount of energy), and we use a lot of energy on our body temp. Reptiles have none of these. They're cold blooded, they have small and simple brains, and they aren't very active. I remember a study that found 70% of captive crocodilians, even those kept by professional herpetologists, were overfed. Because it's just unbelievable to us how a reptile can be so big and need so little food.
Yeah. But, to be fair, meg also made the galaxybrain move of getting lost in an Amazon swamp. A 50 ton shark. In a swamp. Pretty sure he's gonna beach and die regardless. I liked the part where they talked up how smart these two are, even though fish and snakes are both dumb as rocks, and then had them both behave dumb as rocks in the "fight."
Just saying, if Megalodon was perfectly cylindrical, then Titanoboa could only wrap around it once with about 12 feet of extra snake left over. Yeah, the circumference of an adult Megalodon (with a wdith of 8-10 feet) could have been up to 30 feet around.

Titanoboa was just one of the large animals that existed in it's habitat. It coexisted with turtles the size of SUVs, giant relatives of the modern capybara, 12 ft lungfish and a giant 40+ ft Caiman called Purussaurus. So the reason titanoboa was able to get so large, was because it fed on other mega fauna that existed in its ecosystem.
The fact that the channel name is called "Bright Side" yet they have mind numbingly videos that absolutely makes little sense or just no sense in general is just unironic, not to mention the uncanny 3d models that they showed off, Im geniuenly speechless....
1:57 titanoboa lived in the amazon but more watery. take any swampy area and just extend it over all of brazil, and you get titanoboas habitat. the amount and size of fish was comparable to the most productive marine ecosystems on earth. in many cases, the largest viable prey for any snake wouldve been fish, though turtles wouldve had enough population to cause specialisation in the form of anthracosuchus. the only rival would be miocene brazil, which had such an incredible density of such massive fish and turtles that purusaurus came onto the scene with jaws specialised for the task despite various large mammals. in short, titanoboa got big by living in a practical fish farm.
otodus m and titanoboa are uniquely comparable, being products of some of the most productive versions of their ecosystems to have ever occurred, and being the largest and highest on the foodchain members of their respective clades, which traditionally occupy mesopredator niches (sharks have multiple exceptions here, having been around for a majority of multicellular life) in comparison like this, otodus m wins every single time, obviously. they evolved to hunt prey twice their size, only to grow nearly equivalent in size to many of these titans, so otodus is kind of just the best predator in every single competition like this. which is why competitions like this are dumb. every predator, every single organism, is both incredibly exciting and boring. stop comparing them, it is the dumbest shit you could possibly do. for the love of your parents please stop.
Titanoboa survuved most likely on pseudosuchians. Much like modern crocodilians it was likley they were prolific breeders and had tons of offspring per clutch. One large meal could last them for months. Also, the video, Anacondas are Boas, theyre the same family, anacondas are just more aquatic, thats like saying a shark behaves like a fish. Its redundant. But they likely were aquatic like Anacondas. The size and weight of their bodies is better supported by an aquatic life.
Actually, given the Anatony of its skull, Titanoboa more than likely feed on fish as a main part of their diet, with other aquatic prey being a nice bonus
@@seandewar47 some species of lungfish sure, but there's contention as to the staple. But I welcome a citation if you have one. In extant herpetology we don't see much distinction with piscivorous from other species, usually the skull physiology doesn't vary much other than the tooth structure. Eg, we see longer and more teeth in arboreal species, this is to ensure they're more likely to catch their prey. With Titanoboa compared to other species such as anaconda, there isnt much variation. Other than some more advanced articulation & the obvious note that the ocular structure for eunectes, particularly E. Murinus thar allows for the eyes to rest higher towards the top of the skull allowing for above water visibility when submerged. So I would genuinely be interested in papers that support a staple piscivorous diet.
Megladon vs worm Megladon:size Megladon:weight Worm:is a worm Worm:can dig underground Megladon: has teeth The Megladon accidentally crawls underground and has a boxing match with the worm.the worm looks to be winning with its worm powers but then Megladon swallows it.
1:55 Titanoboa was primarily piscivorous(based on certain anatomical features in the Skull) and also dined on other aquatic prey if need be. And reptiles don't need to eat as frequently as mammals/Birds do, It's only natural reptiles are able to attain large sizes
Energy in energy out. Snakes don't exactly go on leisurely strolls. So that's how they conserve energy. Their eating style also helps as they eat HUGE things and break them down slowly. And many species are quite solitary so there won't really be that many in an area. So you're looking at a Giant Boa eating only a few large meals a year and then spending half of that time digesting it too and sitting around.
I think all it takes is realizing the Titanoboa doesn't have venom and may not be able to open its mouth wide enough to even fit the Megalodon and then we realize who would win, if any side were to even win at all.
1:53 The way to describe this is kinda like how the American lion and short-faced bear went extinct. Before the end of the ice age, you had very big mammals that grew bigger to better combat the cold like mammoths, mastodon, and others. Bigger prey meant that the predators got bigger to take down such prey and more food to put towards growth. But when the environment warmed up and the cold adapted plants died off and the big herbivores that relied on them with them. The bigger predators that survived the environment change then could not feed their massive body's, their size became their downfall, and they were out competed by smaller predators more suited to the available prey.
Why are they comparing titanaboa to boa constrictors, when firstly there is a 33 foot anaconda on record, second we have a 50 foot titanaboa in the florida museum of natural history. Their numbers are way off.
Titanoboa was at maximum 45ft and would eat 20 to 28ft crocs and gators maybe only needing to eat every 6 or 7 months and were quite sedentary, my friend is a archeologist that studies extinct snakes and reptilians.

I understand he's popular but that's like.. on land only?? you can use something else?? lmao
Megalodon was poisonous. It's skin was like acid to anyone that touched it and it released a poison into the water that seeped into the wound caused by the acid.
@@danlikerone6938 yeah. Like we can see that it didn't have places for venom, but there's no way to be sure it didn't have a weirdass liver like pufferfish or polar bears.
Titanoboa could've been maintained pretty easily most of the animals alive in that period were pretty big and snakes in general don't have to eat that often a meal can last a snake a week or 2 and some snakes can go a couple months without needing to eat
"Its so fast!" Shows a real boa. Going about 0.02 miles per hour. My pet boa escaped once. She moved about five feet away from her tank. Theyre really, really slow, and the biggwr the snake, the slower they are.
Otw not fish related but please do a video of the “Swiss Titan”. It’s a newly discovered predatory Ichthyosaur that rivaled the size and weight of both the Megalodon and Livyatan, making it one of the largest predators to ever live
Hi zak, I was going working on a science fair project amongst my friends and I have a saltwater aquarium. Do you know of anything that would be cool to do for some sort of experiment? (Obviously don’t want to hurt any fish) in the tank, I have a Koran angel, a snowflake moray, and a stripped burrfish (along with a starfish) any ideas that would be fun and interesting for learning?
If you are getting knocked out by anything in ark, you need to level fortitude, it makes you resistant to temperature and tarpor. Or you could do what i've done and carry stimulant to keep you awake
there were sea snakes that grew insanely long, similar to Titanoboa... They would get absolutely bodied by Megalodon's smaller Otodus cousins that lived alongside them at the time, the idea that any snake would win against a bigger shark is laughable, any member of the Otodus genus could literally bite every snake that has ever existed cleanly in half with no effort. This is the sort of question a person who thinks The Meg is a documentary would ask...
The little pitter patter when they talk about how fast Usain Bolt can run lmao 😂😂😂 Also as a snake mom and reptile enthusiast Titanaboa won before the fight imo. It's just an obligatory bias.

Wait a second, it said that Titanoboa is faster than Megalodon because water was it's main hunting ground, yet Megalodon lives in the water...
No way Brightside actually admitted megalodon is extinct!! 1:12
It probably wasn't venomous, but we don't have any way to know that it wasn't poisonous.
Couldve been
Megalodon was poisonous. It's skin was like acid to anyone that touched it and it released a poison into the water that seeped into the wound caused by the acid.
You mean if you ate it you would die?
@@danlikerone6938 yeah. Like we can see that it didn't have places for venom, but there's no way to be sure it didn't have a weirdass liver like pufferfish or polar bears.
@@kevingluys3063 yea, altough it would be pretty unique among snakes
Lol. He still thinks the AC changed anything.
Titanoboa could've been maintained pretty easily most of the animals alive in that period were pretty big and snakes in general don't have to eat that often a meal can last a snake a week or 2 and some snakes can go a couple months without needing to eat
By the way, last time I checked, boas do not have fangs like the model shown in the video.
The Titana boa would probably only eat about once a month an anaconda
Is good on on pig every 2-3 weeks and they both have cloaca’s
I love that these videos exist for when I get high though
Chats back!!
Why did they model the Titanaboa to have fangs? It was likely a constricting snake, and also wasn’t venomous?
"Its so fast!"
Shows a real boa. Going about 0.02 miles per hour.
My pet boa escaped once. She moved about five feet away from her tank. Theyre really, really slow, and the biggwr the snake, the slower they are.
Titanoboa is not only the most annoying thing in ARK but also the the scariest shit.
Why did they just give it fangs? Correct me if im wrong but constricters dont have fangs or inject venom no?
Megalodon should be dying of freshwater rn if it’s in an inland swamp
Otw not fish related but please do a video of the “Swiss Titan”. It’s a newly discovered predatory Ichthyosaur that rivaled the size and weight of both the Megalodon and Livyatan, making it one of the largest predators to ever live
Hi zak, I was going working on a science fair project amongst my friends and I have a saltwater aquarium. Do you know of anything that would be cool to do for some sort of experiment? (Obviously don’t want to hurt any fish) in the tank, I have a Koran angel, a snowflake moray, and a stripped burrfish (along with a starfish) any ideas that would be fun and interesting for learning?
Waitin till fishologist makes vid about MEG 2
Bring back the pasty white skin back!
I've lost brain cells
Megalodon would for sure wind.
Titanaboa is only 150% the size of a green anaconda
there was a megalodon tooth necklace in the titanic wreck
I mean size matters imagine a blue whale Vs trout
Fish
Dang Im in ark mobile we don’t have to worry about thylas but traversing the swamp on foot is a nightmare cuz of Kapros sarcos and the titanoboas
If you are getting knocked out by anything in ark, you need to level fortitude, it makes you resistant to temperature and tarpor. Or you could do what i've done and carry stimulant to keep you awake
wear flak armor too it gives torpor resist. Riot gear is never worth it for that sole reason, ESPECIALLY on multiplayer
Hear me out, why does he sound like hiccup from how to train your dragon 💀

Sup Frank
there were sea snakes that grew insanely long, similar to Titanoboa...
They would get absolutely bodied by Megalodon's smaller Otodus cousins that lived alongside them at the time, the idea that any snake would win against a bigger shark is laughable, any member of the Otodus genus could literally bite every snake that has ever existed cleanly in half with no effort. This is the sort of question a person who thinks The Meg is a documentary would ask...
The little pitter patter when they talk about how fast Usain Bolt can run lmao 😂😂😂
Also as a snake mom and reptile enthusiast Titanaboa won before the fight imo. It's just an obligatory bias.
why does that megalodon in the start have ray tracing graphics? needed a rtx graphics card torender that thing
You should do a ark livestream or series
I’ve watched a lot of these
Spoiler the meg always wins.
Ark swamps are hell!!!
Hi twitch, I missed ya
At this point the megalodon just feels fake.
