SCIENTISTS reckon they have found the spot where two randy giant millipedes romped — 300million years ago.
Experts claim footprints left in sandstone prove one of the frisky creepy-crawlies climbed on top of the other as they scuttled along.
And they believe the pair, each around 8ft long, had a quick bonk on the move at Kintell Braes near St Andrews.
A report into the findings said: “This rare discovery has important consequences for understanding their evolution and reproductive patterns.”
The revelation came after tracks marking the path of the two monster millipedes suddenly came together.
Researchers considered the possibility one creature could have been following exactly in its companion’s footsteps.

But the late Dr Martin Whyte of Sheffield Uni argued: “The more probable alternative is one animal was partly riding on the back of the other.”
He ruled out the theory one of the beasts was under attack, adding: “This was not a predator–prey relationship.
"The trackways were most probably made by two animals congregating together.”
