sybrand, i’m pretty sure that the evolution of feathers wasn’t until much later than you presume. i think that the museum scientists are just putting feathers and colors on them to make them more appealing to younglings. you know how they like cute puppets and colorful video games.

I’m glad you asked. They don’t know about colours, or fur, but they have found a lot of evidence for them having feathers.

So if you image T-Rex as a sort of giant turkey – you’re on the right track.

The probably grew feathers to survive in colder climates, and as a matter of fact, if you bothered getting your brain off it’s lazy ass and visited the london natural history museum, you can see the exhibit with Velociraptors covered in feathers.

if Joe Boyer was around back then, there would not only have been racing stripes but flames. these all would have went down for 50 quid or less.
