Generations of ancient, solitary bees made a home within the tooth holes of a fossilized jawbone, which was recently uncovered in a cave on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola.
It's the first time we've ever seen ancient bees taking up residence in the pre-existing cavities of a fossil, and it shows home really is what you make it.
Paleontologists believe the jawbone once belonged to a capybara-like rodent (Plagiodontia araeum), most likely transported to the cave in the grasp of an owl, which made a meal of the now extinct mammal and discarded its jawbone.
