"we can't prove they weren't huge fatbirds!" https://imgur.com/gallery/rmad4


I hate this recent trend of shitting on paleoartists as if they have no idea what they're doing. Many species of dinosaurs had feathers. Thus far there's no evidence T. Rex did. If it did, they wouldn't be a huge coat like that due to thermal consequences.


At the very least we had no particular reason to assume dinos had the canonical stone colored skin with no markings.


I find that equally terrifying. I’ve seen firsthand what happens to a frog when it hops into a coop of 7 chickens
