Dinosaur found with vacuum-cleaner mouth

WASHINGTON - Perhaps it was one of those eureka moments, when the scientists realized they had discovered a new dinosaur with mouth parts designed to vacuum up food.


The 110 million-year-old plant eater, discovered in the Sahara Desert, was to be unveiled Thursday by the National Geographic Society.

Discoverer Paul Sereno named the elephant-sized animal Nigersaurus taqueti,Pamus Anderson...

 

"Nigersaurus"

Sounds like a character from a Dave Chapelle sketch ...

 

Now this is natural selection. A vacuum cleaner mouth could keep a T-Rex off your ass back in 10,000 BC.

 

Fixed for the ID crowd.

 

Whale sharks and Basking sharks still have those sorts of mouths.

 

I thought Adam and Eve named them all. Was I wrong?

 

Fixed.

 

I thought those sharks just keep their mouths open & just swim around, letting the food just collect in the filters of their mouths. I do know that a few bony fish and a couple of turtle species have vaccuum-like jaws, though.

 

I don't know if the T-Rex would be off your ass, but it probably wouldn't kill you.

 

That sounds more like a bootsasaurus.

 

Evolution not at its finest.

 

She's gone from suck to blow!
