Inside the skeleton where the animal's stomach would have been are the fossilized remains of a baby dino.

Lucy's skeleton gave scientists their best clues yet to the proportions of Australopithecus, and revealed her to be surprisingly short-legged. But the find left no doubts that she walked erect ... As recently as a decade ago, scientists talked about a direct, unbranching line of descent ... Now all that has changed ...
