Some of these pics do kind of make you wonder how they get hyped into being "proof" don't they?

In third world countries with uneducated citizens, it's not really that surprising.

The article mentions Titanboa, but doe snot mention the size of the 'snake' in the image. The size of Titanboa suggests a warmer climate. The higher temperature was believed to be detrimental to tropical forests, but the size of Titanboa appears to contradict that belief. The size of the 'snake' in the photo would be unlikely to be viable under current temperatures.
