Feathered Dinosaurs?



Check it out!

Turns out, new evidence may suggest that most dinosaurs had feathers!   According to study leader Oliver Rauhut, a paleontologist at the Bavarian State Collections of Palaeontology and Geology in Germany "... new fossil suggests feathered dinosaurs were the norm, not the exception".  See article (link below) from NatGeo that came out last Monday.

Something tells me that Jurassic Park wouldn't have been as terrifying if T-rex was sporting soft fluffy feathers.  :)   The nerd in me is excited for the new product line of scientifically accurate feathered dinosaur figurines.
