Fossil evidence that snakes ate dinosaurs found

For the first time fossils have been found that prove prehistoric snakes would have snacked on newborn dinosaurs.
The fossilised dinosaur nest depicted a scene from 67 million years ago with a large prehistoric snake preparing to attack a newborn sauropod dinosaur that had just emerged from its egg.
Found in India, the well-preserved dinosaur-nest scene boasts several fossils: a nearly complete snake, a newly emerged dinosaur, and two unhatched eggs—all apparently part of a spine-tingling tale.
