Scientists discover earliest known fossil examples of predatory birds

In a paper published in the journal PLOS ONE, scientists have unveiled the discovery of two new species of birds that coexisted with these magnificent creatures 68 million years ago. These birds were remarkable predators, and the researchers were able to identify and name these new species from just one bone each: the formidable foot bone that suggests these birds were adept at capturing and carrying off prey. This discovery sheds new light on the diverse and dynamic ecosystem of the past, captivating our imagination and deepening our understanding of prehistoric life.
