Scientists believe they may have uncovered the first known incident of a mammal being eaten by a dinosaur.

Palaeontologists in the UK have analysed fossil remains from around 120 million years ago, showing a small, feathered dinosaur – known as Microraptor – with the foot of an animal inside its ribcage.
