Dinosaurs' Super-Sized Fleas.....

Yikes..... evolution in action to the everlasting annoyance of creationist assholes.

Quote:Engel and his co-authors studied nine flea specimens from two sites: the 165-million-year-old Jurassic deposits in Daohugou and the 125-million-year-old Cretaceous strata at Huangbanjigou, both in China. The insects were not quite like fleas as we now know them. Whereas modern fleas range from 1 to 10 millimetres in length, the Jurassic and Cretaceous species were between 8 and 21 millimetres. "These were hefty insects as far as fleas are concerned," says Engel.


I wonder how dinosaurs scratched their balls?
