Palaeontologists in the UK analysed fossil remains of a small, feathered dinosaur, known as a microraptor, and found it appeared to have eaten a small mammal about the size of a mouse.
Scientists believe they have uncovered the first known incident of a mammal being eaten by a dinosaur.
The scientists said the discovery, published in the Journal of Vertebrate Palaeontology, is"the first record of a dinosaur eating a mammal". Dr David Hone, from Queen Mary University of London, who is first author on the study, said:"It's so rare to find examples of food inside dinosaurs, so every example is really important as it gives direct evidence of what they were eating.
