Scientists Find Skeleton Of Nature's First Sexual Predator

  • 0:07 - 0:10
    The scientific community is buzzing
    following the announcement that archaeologists
  • 0:11 - 0:14
    in Argentina have uncovered the first complete skeleton
  • 0:14 - 0:17
    of the world`s oldest sexual predator.
  • 0:17 - 0:18
    According to the team of archaeologist
  • 0:18 - 0:21
    the discovery of a full skeleton of Pervatasaurus Leroy,
  • 0:21 - 0:24
    the first dinosaurs species known to stalk another
  • 0:24 - 0:26
    not for food but for sexual satisfaction
  • 0:26 - 0:29
    , could quote ‘…shed light on any number of
  • 0:29 - 0:31
    mysteries surrounding this ancient lecherous creature’
  • 0:31 - 0:34
    Joining us now from Argentina is the lead paleontologist on the dig,
  • 0:34 - 0:35
    Dr. Andrew Vaughn.
  • 0:35 - 0:36
    Hello.
  • 0:36 - 0:39
    Dr. Vaughn, the pervatasaurus looks a bit like the tyrannosaurus Rex
  • 0:39 - 0:40
    Are they two related?
  • 0:40 - 0:43
    Yes. They`re both members of the Thereped suborder,
  • 0:43 - 0:46
    but the pervatasaurus is smaller and much much creepier
  • 0:46 - 0:48
    Now, how did you and your team make this monumental discovery?
  • 0:48 - 0:51
    Oh, well, the skeleton was discovered in a dank,
  • 0:51 - 0:56
    subterranean cave far away from any of the other dinosaur fossils we excavated.
  • 0:56 - 0:58
    And the large number of well-preserved footprints
  • 0:58 - 1:01
    suggested the pervatasaurus spent the majority of its time there in a cave
  • 1:01 - 1:02
    just pacing back and forth alone.
  • 1:02 - 1:05
    So it was basically a solitary creature.
  • 1:05 - 1:06
    Oh, for the most part, yes.
  • 1:06 - 1:08
    The pervatasaurus seemed to only approach other dinosaurs
  • 1:08 - 1:11
    when they were in large groups which allowed the pervatasaurus
  • 1:11 - 1:14
    to stealthily creep between their bodies and rub himself against them.
  • 1:14 - 1:15
    It`s incredible.
  • 1:15 - 1:19
    All of my research indicates that it really liked mud and slick surfaces
  • 1:19 - 1:21
    and would often submerge half of its body in mud
  • 1:21 - 1:24
    while groping its own genitals and mumbling to himself.
  • 1:24 - 1:26
    Now, it was long thought, it was my understanding at least,
  • 1:26 - 1:28
    that the pervatasaurus was a carnivore.
  • 1:28 - 1:30
    Oh, that was a misconception.
  • 1:30 - 1:34
    By studying pervatasaurus fossilized faeces which we found neatly stacked
  • 1:34 - 1:37
    in a symmetric piles in a cave we discovered
  • 1:37 - 1:39
    that the pervatasaurus was in fact a herbivore.
  • 1:39 - 1:40
    So it was a scavenger of sorts then?
  • 1:40 - 1:43
    Oh yes. We have discovered drag marks near several caves
  • 1:43 - 1:47
    indicating the pervatasaurus likely lured smaller dinosaurs back to its cave,
  • 1:47 - 1:49
    but the lack of skeletons suggests
  • 1:49 - 1:51
    the pervatasaurus didn`t kill or eat them
  • 1:51 - 1:53
    but only watch them as it masturbated.
  • 1:53 - 1:55
    Well it`s remarkable! Thanks for being with us, Dr. Vaughn.
  • 1:55 - 1:57
    Congratulations on your find.
  • 1:57 - 1:57
    Thank you.
  • 1:57 - 2:00
    Moving on accusations of steroid use are calling into suggestion
  • 2:01 - 2:03
    the legitimacy of many of the world greatest sports….
