An ancient animal looked like a platypus-otter hybrid. It lived alongside dinosaurs 165 million years ago. A fossil shows the strange creature had a surprisingly modern throat structure. www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/t... via @smithsonianmag.bsky.social #palaeontology #biology #science #SciChat

A newly described fossil from Inner Mongolia, named Megacauda sungei, is the largest Jurassic mammaliaform found so far. dailygalaxy.com/2026/10/anci... #palaeontology #biology #science #SciChat

A newly discovered Jurassic bird from China appears to have lived a land-based, flightless lifestyle. Findings suggest that the earliest birds had a greater diversity of lifestyles than previously recognized, and that not all were adapted for flight: spklr.io/63323EV8lT
