Titanoboa: Monster Snake special on smithsonian channel
My professor, who's class I'm sitting in right now, is going to be in the new new special Titanoboa: Monster Snake on the Smithsonian channel which premiers on April 1st at 8pm et. Should be really interesting and I hope I've got the channel so I can record/watch it.
My professor is Jason Head, he's mentioned in this article about the show.

That's what I was thinking! You would have to have a farm of pigs or goats or something like that just to feed one of these, and it WOULD need an entire room to itself. Now I love big snakes, but this one? No way!
I don't get the channel either, I'm gonna see if I can find a link for it once its debuted and I'll post it up.

that quote holds true for so many different things.
the Smithsonian site has it on their page which I posted above. The YouTube video will likely get pulled unless it was uploaded by the Smithsonian as its copywritted material and they're VERY protective of that.
