SNAKE!.
Titanoboa's fossilised vertebra showed that it was a whopping 13 metres (42 feet) long. By comparison, the largest verifiable record for a living snake belongs to a 10-metre-long reticulated python, and that was probably a striking exception. Large population surveys of reticulated pythons have failed to find individuals longer than 6 metres. By contrast, Head's team analysed vertebrae from eight different specimens of Titanoboa and found that all of them were roughly the same size. A length of 13 metres was fairly ordinary for this extraordinary serpent. Not quite Jormungandr, but amazing nonetheless.

1.5 Million Year Old "Prehuman" Footprints Found
Footprints uncovered in Kenya show that as early as 1.5 million years ago an ancestral species, almost certainly Homo erectus, had already evolved the feet and walking gait of modern humans. An international team of scientists published an article in Science last Friday saying the well-defined prints “provided the oldest evidence of an essentially modern humanlike foot anatomy” and added to the picture of Homo erectus. Until now, no footprint trails had ever been associated with early members of our long-legged genus Homo. More info at Science.
