WASHINGTON (AP) — Surprised scientists have discovered the remains of a saber-toothed vegetarian. The leaf-crunching animal — about the size of a large dog — lived 260 million years ago in what is now Brazil, researchers report in Friday's edition of the journal Science. Its upper canine teeth were nearly 5 inches long.
Such large teeth are more often the mark of a meat-eating animal, used to capture and kill prey.

Live science said this...
“If you asked me how surprised I was about finding this fossil, I can tell you that finding a fossil so bizarre as Tiarajudens eccentricus, a fossil that looks like if it has been made from parts of different animals, is like finding a unicorn,” vertebrate paleontologist Juan Carlos Cisneros at the Federal University of Piauí in Teresina, Brazil, told LiveScience. “You see it, but you don't believe it.”
A “vertebrate paleontologist” is NOT an “archaeologist”.
Also, not sure where the above drawing came from - it is NOT from the article.

And the worst part is, if you cut it, it bleeds 100% V8 juice. ;)
They have actually found through the fossil recorded that there was gay dinosaurs. And they have actually named this species the female is lickalotapudamus and the males are dinosoreass.
Maybe it eats man-eating plants.
Kinda reminds me of Shep Smith.
Archaeologists discover saber-toothed vegetarian that at vegetables and drank blood. It is the Draculabiteathroatus.

That would definitely be a clue!
Thats all true.
Furry gator looking thing
Please tell us how it does NOT fit the evolutionary theory. That is how the game is played.
My Lousiana pals say nutria aren’t too bad, tastier than coon, its all in the preperation, care, and handling of the meat...
FWIW: The ancestors of modern day Elk had tusks, this is evident in Elk having ivories... makes for nifty jewelry...
see my # 36...
Imagine Elk with ginourmous tusks and 12 foot wide antlers...
I don’t think I’d be chasing them with a bow... Maybe a 50 cal...
Who says you get to define the rules?
Now, I suppose it’s just my biological ignorance, but why didn’t they use the word “herbivore?”
Its like the case of the third human on this planet came NOT FROM two other humans but from a Monkey..
