Ancient 'cat-like' crocodile had bite like a mammal

Long ago, crocodile-like creatures might have hunted dragonflies
Palaeontologists working in Tanzania have unearthed fossils of a tiny crocodile-like creature with teeth resembling those of mammals.
The animal, Pakasuchus kapilimai, lived between 144 and 65 million years ago - during the Cretaceous - in what is now sub-Saharan Africa.
Scientists say the find shows that crocs were once more diverse than they are today.
