About 125 million years ago, in the middle of the Jurassic age, everything was super sized!!!! So their fore, flees were to! Scientists found a fossil of a flee that dates back about 125 million years ago, and that was recorded to be around 8 to 20.5 millimeters! That is about 6 times the normal flee size!!
The flees in that time were more 'muscular' and they had claws that allowed them to latch on to larger animals and to have the ability to latch on the any type of fur/feathers.
Wow! Imagine having that flea bite you! What are your thoughts on the article? Where is the link to it? Who wrote the article? Remember, this is a major part of the assignment too, not just the summary. :)
