Chubutophis is an extinct genus of boid snakes from the Eocene-aged Sarmiento Formation in Chubut Province, Argentina. It is known from a partial set of vertebrae suggesting a juvenile individual. The type species is C. grandis.

Gustave is a large male Nile crocodile from Burundi. He is notorious for being a man-eater and is rumored to have killed as many as 200 people from the banks of the Ruzizi River and the northern shores of Lake Tanganyika.

“We relied on the maximum verifiable first-hand measurements for both Eunectes and Python1 Two fossil records of giant boids are not considered here: Chubutophis29 is represented by a vertebrae estimated to be from a juvenile individual 5-7 meters in TBL with adult lengths for the taxon estimated to be 10-12 meters7,29.“ @hammerhead oldgreengrolar Hardcastle Bolushi thoughts? |

Hmm, I think the snake is just too long and girthy as well. I think Gustave will land a bite on its body but unless he gets in a skull bite he’ll probably get constricted.

How would this snake fare against Titanoboa? It’s shorter but seems to be more arboreal compared to Titanoboa’s more aquatic lifestyle, would this change the outcome if they fought? |

Well that depends on where the fight takes place imo. On land I think the more mobile and maneuverable Chubutophis would win and obviously in a tree. In the water I favor the Titanoboa. A bit like comparing a retic to a green anaconda. |

I desperately want the croc to win (doing its part in solving human overpopulation + just being a cool epic animal) but I think it'd bite the snake's head and body but get constricted and die.
