In Depth
Agilodocodon is a genus of small mammaliforme that lived in what is now China during the Mid Jurassic. Agilodocodon is thought to have been an arboreal animal, and as such spent most of its life living in the tree canopy. Here Agilodocodon is thought to have fed mostly upon tree sap, safe and out of reach of many of the dinosaurian predators that would have been running around on the ground.
