    Diet of the Titanoboa Based on the shape of their teeth, scientists believe that these snakes ate mostly fish. Their teeth have significant differences that set them apart from the other members of the boa family. Researchers find it likely that the snakes fed on a variety of fish from that era.
    They are thought to be expert ambush predators, having the ability to chase and strike their unsuspecting prey at incredible speeds. Their diet included all kinds of giant reptiles, fish, mammals, etc. available for consuming within their habitat. Titanoboas would hunt both on land and underwater.

    Titanoboa’s prey included lungfish, crocodiles, turtles, and even smaller snakes. It had no natural enemies, except perhaps for other Titanoboas. It was the apex predator of its ecosystem, dominating the food chain.

    The study of the fossils of the Titanoboa showed that they were warm climate creatures. Titanoboa mainly ate crocodiles, but they also ate fish, turtles, and snakes and lizards. The study was published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology.

    As a giant constrictor, Titanoboa had been long considered an apex predator in its ecosystem. The snake’s diet is often compared to that of the anaconda, feeding actively on terrestrial prey like the crocodylomorphs and other reptiles that were quite abundant in its ecosystem.

    As far as Titanoboa was concerned, however, it probably did not matter. The crocs and the turtles undoubtedly ate fish, but Titanoboa was at the top of the food chain. It could eat fish, but it could also eat the crocs and turtles. “Some snakes—especially anacondas—can and do eat crocodilians,” Head said.
    Titanoboa was a coldblooded animal whose body temperature depended on that of its habitat. Reptiles can grow bigger in warmer climates, where they can absorb enough energy to maintain a necessary metabolic rate. That’s why insects, reptiles and amphibians tend to be larger in the tropics than in the temperate zone.
    One would think that a snake the size of Titanoboa could eat anything it fancied, but scientists believe that the snake ate mostly fish. They came to this conclusion because of the snake’s palate and the number and anatomy of its teeth. The fish were most likely types of lungfish or types of bony fish called osteoglossomorphs.
    It is extremely likely that Titanoboa had similar habits, because the animal’s large size would have made living on land awkward or impossible. Titanoboa, (Titanoboa cerrejonensis), extinct snake that lived during the Paleocene Epoch (66 million to 56 million years ago), considered to be the largest known member of the suborder Serpentes.
    Researchers have no way of knowing about the behavior of this massive snake. To date, researchers have found no fossilized eggs or young to indicate how this species reproduced. Everything you should know about the Titanoboa. The Titanoboa is an extinct snake that was simply massive, at 42 ft. long!
    Initially, Titanoboa was thought to have acted much like a modern anaconda based on its size and the environment it lived in, with researchers suggesting that it may have fed on the local crocodylomorph fauna.
