An international team of scientists have discovered new evidence of a dinosaur dining on ancient mammals.

The foot of a tiny mammal was inside the stomach of a microraptor — a small feathered dinosaur that lived during the Cretaceous some 100 million years ago in temperate forests in what is now China.

It's the first time a piece of a mammal was discovered inside a microraptor.
