Fleas bitting dinosaurus

Only insects with very powerful jaws could have fed on the blood of the dinosaurs, but it appears that some succeeded, according to a new study. Scientists in China found animal fossils 165 million years with a morphology similar to modern flea, although its size was approximately ten times higher. "Estos eran insectos mucho más grandes que las pulgas modernas y por el tamaño de su proboscis, el apéndice tubular alargado con el que extraían la sangre, podemos decir que su mordedura habría sido bastante dolorosa" said one of the scientists studying this kind of fleas. He also said "There will be caused a sensation similar to that caused by a hypodermic needle. Luckily existing fleas are much lower." "Probably Jurassic insects whose fossils were found in Mongolia are the ancestors of modern fleas, but more probably belonged to a separate lineage and now extinct" pointed. Bodies were flat, similar to a bug or tick, as well as claws that could climb the rough skin of the dinosaurs and held down while drew their blood.
