Small mammals may have hunted dinosaurs for food, a new study says
A fossil discovery in China suggests that mammals may have preyed on dinosaurs several times their size. The fossil, found at a site known as "China's Pompeii," shows a mammal attacking a dinosaur during a volcanic eruption around 125 million years ago. The discovery challenges the theory that dinosaurs dominated the Earth and that mammals were a part of their domain. However, researchers believe that this fossil is likely to be an exception rather than the rule.

Tim Friede: Man bitten by snakes hundreds of times helps create broad antivenom
Tim Friede, a self-taught snake enthusiast, endured hundreds of venomous bites, enabling researchers to develop a potentially groundbreaking antivenom. His unique antibodies could help treat snakebite victims globally, particularly in India, by neutralizing toxins across multiple snake species.
