The scientific community is buzzing following the announcement that
-
archaeologists in Argentina have uncovered the first complete skeleton
-
of the world's oldest sexual predator.
-
According to the team of archaeologists, the discovery of a full skeleton
-
of Pervatasaurus Leroy, the first dinosaur species
-
known to stalk another not for food,
-
but for sexual satisfaction could, quote: "...shed light on any number
-
of mysteries surrounding this ancient lecherous creature."
-
Joining us now from Argentina is the lead paleontologist on the dig,
-
Andrew Vaughn. - Hello.
-
Dr. Vaughn, the pervatasaurus looks a bit like the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
-
Are the two related? - Yes. They're both members
-
of the Therepod sub order, but the pervatasaurus is smaller
-
and much, much creepier. - Now, how did you and your team
-
make this monumental discovery. - Oh, well, the skeleton was discovered
-
in a dank, subterranean cave far away from any of the other
-
dinosaur fossils we excavated.
-
The large number of well preserved footprints suggests
-
the pervatasaurus spent the majority of its time
-
there in the cave, just pacing back and forth alone.
-
So, it was basically a solitary creature. - Oh, for the most part, yes.
-
The pervatasaurus seemed to only approach other dinosaurs
-
when they were in large groups,
-
which allowed the pervatasaurus to stealthily creep between their bodies
-
and rub himself up against them. - It's incredible.
-
All of my research indicates that it really liked mud and slick surfaces
-
and would often submerge half of its body in mud,
-
while groping its own genitals and mumbling to itself.
-
Now, it was long thought, it was my understanding at least,
-
that the pervatasaurus was a carnivore. - Oh that was a misconception.
-
By studying the pervatasaurus fossilized feces,
-
which we found neatly stacked in symmetrical piles in the cave,
-
we discovered that the pervatasaurus was in fact an herbivore.
-
So it was a scavenger of sorts then. - Oh yes.
-
We have discovered drag marks near several caves
-
indicating the pervatasaurus likely lured smaller dinosaurs
-
back to its cave, but the lack of skeletons suggests the pervatasaurus
-
didn't kill and eat them, but only watched them as it masturbated.
-
Well, it's remarkable. Thanks for being with us, Dr. Vaughn.
-
Congratulations on your find. - Thank you.
-
Moving on, accusations of steroid use are calling into question the legitimacy
-
of many of the world's greatest sports' bloopers.
