It's a bird! It's a dinosaur! No, apparently it's a lizard, as study authors issue retraction - USA TODAY

Researchers thought they discovered the world’s smallest dinosaur, a bird-like creature less than the size of a hummingbird.

They say the bird-like creature is probably the smallest known dinosaur, living in Myanmar 99 million years ago.
