It seens that the most common prey of Titanoboa cerrejonensis were the newly discovered species named Cerrejonisuchus improcerus, they grew only 6 to 7 feet long (180 to 213 centimeters) making it easy prey of Titanoboa.
Clearly this new fossil would have been part of the food-chain, both as predator and prey," said Jonathan Bloch, a Florida Museum vertebrate paleontologist and associate curator. "Giant snakes today are known to eat crocodylians, and it is not much of a reach to say that it would have been a frequent meal for Titanoboa. Fossils of the two are often found side-by-side," added Bloch, who was part of the fossil-hunting expeditions. Reply
