A team of researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee has made a significant discovery in Gujarat's Kutch region. They have unearthed fossils believed to belong to one of the largest snakes ever known. The discovery, made at the Panandhro Lignite Mine, includes 27 "mostly well-preserved" bones that make up the spinal column of the snake, some of which are still connected. The researchers suggest that these vertebrae belonged to a fully-grown snake from the now-extinct Madtsoiidae family.
