Doar carapacea are o lungime de 170 de centimetri, cât înălţimea medie a unui bărbat. Craniul animalului este de dimensiunea unui mingi de fotbal, având un maxilar masiv care îi permitea să mănânce aproape orice. Rămăşiţele fosilizate ale uriaşului animal au fost descoperite într-o mină de cărbune din Columbia.
De asemenea, specialiştii spun că este posibil ca reptila gigantică să fi fost vecină cu cel mai mare şarpe descoperit vreodată, Titanoboa, care cutreierea actualul teritoriu al Columbiei.
Prin urmare, la 5 milioane de ani de la dispariţia dinozaurilor, încă mai existau reptile uriaşe în regiunile mlăştinoase din America de Sud.
