Hello, I am new to Cryptozoology and I hope to learn a lot from this subreddit, I have the utmost interest in snakes, especially big ones, so I am posting this one as a way of sharing my perspective on the "supposedly" 50 feet katanga snake.

After hearing a lot of opinions about the "snake's head", I came down to my own conclusion and haven't been able to see if any other way now, I am not forcing anyone to take my words as it is, but I would really appreciate it if you look at the comparison images I uploaded with this post, the red colour indicate the head and blue colour indicate the shadow.

1: why am I so insistent that this "blue region" is 100% a shadow and not the head? In the original interview of Colonel Remy Van Lierde, he claimed that the snake raised its head up 10 foot to get into a striking position at the helicopter they were boarding, colonel Remy Van Lierde was able to see the white belly of the snake, which i assume is from the lower part of the neck region of the snake as the snake rose its head up, another claim was that the snake's head was wide (3 feet long and 2 feet wide), which is heavily consistent with the triangular jaw of the "blue region" in the comparison images I posted, if you see the comparison images I made, the red region (head) is raised up, casting a shadow of its features on the ground (blue region).

2: skepticism regarding the snake species, the largest snake found in the congo region is the central african rock python as far as I know can grow up to 20 feet, but they have obvious skin patterns which is missing in the image, it could be debated as aerial perspective which made the snake look single coloured but Remy Van Lierde claimed it was "dark green— brown in color, with a white belly", doesn't fully match with the description of an African Rock Python, the snake's head is also proportionally large compared to its body unlike rock pythons who have a smaller heads in comparison to their body proportions but I have seen an anaconda video (not sure if it's real) but it looks a lot like the katanga snake (head shape, proportions, speed despite the enormous size)

It was apparently taken on a Zeiss Ikon medium format 6x6 camera on a moving helicopter, I don't really know how that affects the camera size perspective, so if someone has knowledge regarding it, please enlighten me.

My final take on the image is that we have zero evidence on the scale but it doesn't seem like an exaggerated central african rock python to me, it looks more like an unidentified species or a special rock python with unique coloring and jaw width (though unlikely), I am very interested in this topic and would like to know everyone's thoughts on it (with proof).

Left Side - Gun Park, Right Side - Kitae Kim

Looking forward to the day they finally meet and fight.

Since Na Jaegeon staked Incheon just to attain Goo's strength (that too, with uncertainty) only implies Goo was stronger than him to the point Na Jaegeon was willing to sacrifice Yugang's clothes as collateral which represent Incheon, and this Na Jaegeon was a threat to 3T Cheonliang James back then, to the point James himself acknowledges he could've lost.

Round 1: Base Cheonliang Gun (Serious, Full HP) vs Shigeaki Kojima (Full HP)

Round 2: Base Cheonliang Gun (Serious, Full HP) vs Hiroaki Kojima (Full HP)

Round 3: Base Cheonliang Gun (Serious, Full HP) vs Kojima Brothers (1v2)

(forgot to put spoiler tag, mb gang)

In the 3rd Slide, James claims "He and I never finished our fight last time", was it ever hinted or shown them fighting?

I see a lot of "Gapryong is not the strongest" takes lately, while I don't agree that Gapryong is the strongest in the verse, he is a very strong contender for top 1 in the verse title, did something happen to make his stocks down or is it just agenda?

If you don't think Gapryong is the strongest in the verse then who do you think is?

Making a tier list, I need to know who wins between these two and what diff
