Scientists have revealed the fossilized remains of a prehistoric sea cow that was likely killed by an ancient crocodile then eaten by a tiger shark.
The skeleton, which was discovered in northern Venezuela, is a rare example of one animal being preyed upon by two different predators during the Early to Middle Miocene epoch (23 million to 11.6 million years ago). Although fossils can show if an animal has been eaten by another, it's often hard to tell the difference between active predation and scavenging.
