WASHINGTON (AP).- Una antigua serpiente gigante de India pudo haber sido m\u00e1s larga que un autob\u00fas escolar y pesar m\u00e1s de una tonelada, informaron investigadores el jueves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
F\u00f3siles encontrados cerca de una mina de carb\u00f3n revelaron la existencia de una serpiente que, seg\u00fan c\u00e1lculos, alcanzaba entre 11 metros (36 pies) y 15 metros (50 pies) de longitud. Es comparable con la serpiente m\u00e1s larga que se conoce, de alrededor de 13 metros (42 pies) de largo, que alguna vez vivi\u00f3 en lo que ahora es Colombia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La serpiente viva m\u00e1s larga de la actualidad es la pit\u00f3n reticulada de Asia, que mide 10 metros (33 pies).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El coloso reci\u00e9n descubierto vivi\u00f3 hace 57 millones de a\u00f1os en los pantanosos bosques de hojas perennes del oeste de India. Pudo haber pesado hasta 1.000 kilogramos (2.200 libras), dijeron los investigadores en la revista Scientific Reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Le dieron el nombre de Vasuki indicus en honor a \u201cel m\u00edtico rey serpiente Vasuki, enroscado en el cuello de la deidad hind\u00fa Shiva\u201d, indic\u00f3 Debajit Datta, del Instituto Indio de Tecnolog\u00eda Roorkee y coautor del estudio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La enorme serpiente no era especialmente h\u00e1bil para atacar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
