Prehistoric mammal that ate dinos for breakfast (Go To Top)

     Washington: Archaeologists have dug up a new species of mammal that roamed China during the reign of the dinosaurs the creature is believed to have been large enough to feast on young dinosaurs. This excavation has refuted the earlier theories, which claimed that all of the mammals living back then were relatively tiny. The creature has been christened Repenomamus giganticus, due to its gigantic size. Yaoming Hu of the American Museum of Natural History in New York, who led the examination of the fossil, believes that it would have more closely resembled a badger. "We were totally surprised. The idea about Mesozoic mammals is that they were small. These ones are totally different," Hu was quoted by the Nature, as saying. The fossil, which dates back 130 million years and was found in Liaoning in northern China, has a skull that is double the size of that of its closest relative, R. robustus. If R. robustus could manage to eat a dinosaur, then its big brother almost certainly could, Hu and his colleagues suggest. They add, however, that it may well have fed on plants and insects too. "If this is not the largest Mesozoic mammal, it must be approaching it. Its jaw length is about that of a fox," Jerry Hooker, who studies prehistoric mammals at the Natural History Museum in London, said. He added that the idea that Repenomamus ate young dinosaurs is very plausible as the dinosaur bones found with R. robustus are from a single individual and some are still articulated, making it unlikely that they were washed there from elsewhere after death.
