The Pastry War (Spanish language: Guerra de los pasteles , French language: Guerre des PÃ¢tisseries) began with the naval blockade of some Mexican ports and the capture of the fortress of San Juan de UlÃºa in Veracruz by French forces in November 1838 and ended with a British-brokered peace in March 1839.
The Titanoboa is the biggest snake to EVER roam the earth. This prehistoric giant snake was believed to grow up to 43 feet in length and weigh upwards of 2,500 pounds. Their fossils have been found in South America and havenât been a threat to wildlife for over 60 million years.
In short, the title for worldâs largest snake is shared between two species. The longest snake is the Reticulated Python, Python reticulatus, which resides in southeastern Asia. The snake that recently died in Columbus was a whopping 24 feet (7.3 meters) long but the species is known to get even larger. Several individuals have been documented between 25 and 30 feet, but things get a little murky and questionable once we break the 30-foot barrier.
