Fossil shows baby dinosaur in mammal's belly

DENVER, Colorado (AP) -- Villagers digging in China's rich fossil beds have uncovered the preserved remains of a tiny dinosaur in the belly of a mammal, a startling discovery for scientists who have long believed early mammals couldn't possibly attack and eat a dinosaur.

Scientists say the animal's last meal probably is the first proof that mammals hunted small dinosaurs some 130 million years ago. It contradicts conventional evolutionary theory that early mammals were timid, chipmunk-sized creatures that scurried in the looming shadow of the giant reptiles.

I couldnt think of anything humurous to this. I tried, but everything I came up with could have been taken politically or religiously, so I let it slide.

And please dont compare me to Katie. My threads when I post stuff like this actually have some substance

How do we know the dinosaur didn't kill a mammal, slice it's belly open, and lay its eggs inside?

I'm guessing it ate a dinosaur egg.

Huh. I always assumed the early mammals were more shrew or rat like and would eat anything small enough to stuff in their bellies, given the opportunity.
