** The largest snake species to ever exist was the ''Titanoboa'' (''Titanoboa cerrejonensis''), a snake that existed in the Paleocene Epoch (around 60 million years ago) that grew to be at least 13 meters in length and weighed more than a ton. Given its massive bulk, it spent its life in the Amazonian swamps of modern-day Colombia. If such animals still lived today, these snakes could have strangled full-grown horses, being ancestors of the modern boa constrictor.

While it was initially thought to be an apex predator that fed on large mammals, more recent discoveries of fossils of its head and jaws have led scientists to believe that it was instead a specialist fish-hunter.

* Myth/EgyptianMythology: Apep is a giant, [[DragonsAreDemonic malevolent snake]] said to be [[DarkIsEvil the physical embodiment of chaos]], whom the sun god Ra would do battle with during his journeys across the underworld every night. Depending on the story, it was said he lurked beneath the horizon, forbidden to enter the mortal kingdoms, and somewhere in a western mountain called Bakhu, where he lay in wait for Ra before the dawn, or after the sun set. Because of the many possibilities of his location, he eventually earned the epithet World-Encircler, and as a perpetual resident of the underworld (since Ra trapped him there), his roars would shake the underworld, while his movements caused earthquakes. There are also several other gigantic divine snakes that are actually heroic and assist Ra and the other gods at battling Apep.
