The incredibly well-preserved remains of a 100-million-year-old baby bird encased in amber is being heralded by scientists as best glimpse yet of an ancient avian species.
The remarkable specimen, discovered in Myanmar, contains nearly the entire body of the creature that is believed to have met its sticky demise after hatching only a few days earlier.
Researchers say that the creature is a type of bird that no longer exists on Earth, but co-existed with the ancestors of today's feathered denizens of the planet.
