Anatomically Strange Dinosaur Vacuumed Up Food

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the things-that-suck dept.

TaeKwonDood writes "A paleontologist has discovered a 110 million-year-old dinosaur that had a mouth that worked like a vacuum cleaner, hundreds of tiny teeth and nearly translucent skull." The creature's vertebrae also consisted of more air than bone, and CT scans of the head suggest it continually held its head low for food vacuuming. Low-hanging fruit, indeed.

    You're a bit late with that troll. In fact, that troll was at least almost 12 hours ahead of /.'s editors. Proof. It's a sad day when copypasta trolls are faster than /.'s editors with the latest dinosaur news.

    This is proof of God's existence and by placing these fossils, he is merely messing with our heads.
