Prehistoric Parasites You're Glad Are Extinct
Ninety-nine million years ago a blood-bloated tick died gripping a dinosaur feather, and it is only the beginning of a hidden history written in amber, fossil dung, and the jawbone of the most famous T. rex on Earth. From a parasite frozen mid-attack on a Silurian seafloor to giant Jurassic fleas built to pierce dinosaur hide and the microbe that may have starved a tyrannosaur to death, these are the ancient freeloaders that rode the greatest creatures ever to live. Their species are long extinct, but the strategies they pioneered are still very much alive, and that is the truly unsettling part.
