A dinosaur-eating mammal? Repenomamus, the largest known mammal from the age of the dinosaurs, lived in China 124 million years ago. Its discovery was the first proof that some mammals were carnivorous and fed on small vertebrates, including dinosaurs – such as the young of Psittacosaurus.
Repenomamus belonged to a mammal group that has no living descendants.
