Gigantophis

Gigantophis garstini was an extinct giant snake. Before the Paleocene constrictor genus "Titanoboa" was described from Colombia in 2009, "Gigantophis" was the largest snake ever recorded. "Gigantophis" lived about 40 million years ago during the Eocene, in the Paratethys Sea. This was in what is now the northern Sahara, where Egypt and Algeria are now.
