Some suggested the 'snake' was, in fact, a log or a speed boat and others pointed out that the colour of the river in the photo was too dark.<br /><br />However, on the banks of the river, villagers are convinced of the massive serpent's existence and have even given it a name, Nabau, after an ancient sea serpent, which can transform itself into the shapes of different animals.<br />u00a0<br />Earlier this month scientists unearthed the fossil of a snake that was longer than a bus, as heavy as a small car and could swallow an animal the size of a cow.<br />u00a0<br />The 45-ft long monster named Titanoboa was so big that it lived on a diet of crocodiles and giant turtles, squeezing them to death and devouring them whole. <br />
