I hope the next find is a fossil bird with a dinosaur inside.

I suspect this was a prehistoric attempt by the Pilgrims at creating tur-duc-ken.

Bah, unless there is evidence of digestion of the corpse, feeding cannot be proven.

Placement in the area of the stomach could just as well be evidence of the bird feeding on the soft tissue of the abdomen when they both were sucked into a bog/swamp/sinkhole or what have you.

No one trusts Chinese scientists of any variety.

So why is this a big deal? Large carnivorous lizards would be attracted to small fluttery things. Kind of a no-brainer isn't it?

BBC's recent Dinosaur Planet handled pretty much this exact situation.

Apparently, CG dinosaurs now take less time than a NewScientist article.

Of course they would have, meat is meat. All creatures are food for another, even those at the top of the food chain eventually died and are consumed by others.

The bird skeleton was nearly intact, suggesting it was swallowed whole as live prey rather than scavenged.

NO MANNERS! Chew your food, you slobs!

Ironically, the cause of death was choking...
