A remarkable fossil discovery from the heart of Inner Mongolia is challenging long-held assumptions about the evolutionary timeline of mammals. Scientists have identified a 165-million-year-old predator, Megacauda sungei, whose sophisticated anatomy offers an unprecedented window into how early mammal relatives navigated the dangerous, dinosaur-dominated landscape of the Jurassic Period. Measuring approximately half a meter—or 20…
