An Eleven feet long prehistoric slithering snake was the biggest enemy a 100-tonne Titanosaur -one of the biggest dinosaurs to walk this earth; as the scientists inform for the first time that ancient snakes in India fed on young dinosaurs.

An international palaeontological team led by the University of Michigan's Jeff Wilson and Geological Survey of India's Dhananjay Mohabey, which discovered a million-year-old fossil of a gargantuan snake found coiled around a dinosaur egg in the village of Dholi Dungri in Virpur taluka in Gujarat's Kheda district, has forwarded this strange feeding pattern.

The discovery made by the team was published online on Tuesday in the journal PLoS Biology.

"The remains of a nearly complete snake were found preserved in the nest of a sauropod dinosaur, adults of which are the largest animals known to have walked the earth," said the scientists, who named the new snake as Sanajeh indicus.

The fossil was first traced in 1987 by Mohabey, who recognized it as dinosaur eggshell and limb bones. However, he was unsuccessful at fully interpreting the specimen. After this, Wilson visited Mohabey in 2001, and was really surprised to check the specimen.
