Fossils reveal anacondas have been giants for over 12 million years

Anacondas can & will eat anything that moves, that's a evolutionary feedback loop, but I hesitate to call it positive

I'll never forget the Palo Anaconda scare. Update: it was a black mamba scare, oops https://www.paloaltoonline.com/news/2023/10/10/palo-alto-res...

I wonder why even looking at pictures of giant snakes is unsettling. And cockroaches too.

I guess that's this new UK laws in effect? How can I prove I'm old enough to watch some giant snakes? :)

> Global changes have since driven many other giant animals to extinction, but anacondas grow just as big today.

But why? Why have anacondas - and sharks? - been immune to evolving? Why hasn’t a significant predator evolved - or invaded? - to feed on them? Why hasn’t 12 million years made the species fragile?

At last, something that isn't about python!
