Beautifully preserved remains of a 47-million-year-old lemur-like creature have been unveiled in the US. The preservation is so good, it is possible to see the outline of its fur and even traces of its last meal, which included fruit and leaves. The fossil, nicknamed Ida, is claimed by some experts to be a "missing link" between today's higher primates - monkeys, apes and humans - and more distant relatives. (Video credit: Sky News)
