Inb4 the t rex is agreed to have had long, fleshy, limp whip arms that were far longer than the tiny bones.
Oh for sure, without a doubt. Hell it took forever for people to figure out feathers.
Then again, on rare occasion we do get some cool skin/soft tissue evidence like that Nodosaurus in Canada. Sometimes they’re strikingly similar to what we thought (or not?). I am not a paleontologist and I am speaking out of my ass.
That Nodosaurus is super cool though, y’all should see it.

and with the beaver tail ?
Behold, the common ancestor between the deadly T-Rex and the common beaver. You can tell they’re related due to the tiny arms, upright stance, and fierce demeanor.
What if there was a dinosaur that literally was just a walking skeleton? 🤔
Disgusting! Why have I followed the link. My entire day is ruined
In October, he was one of nine senators to vote against legislation intended to outlaw flag burning and other forms of flag defacement and joined Bob Dole and Orrin Hatch, the other two Republicans to vote against the bill,
That’s awesome. At least he stood for free speech…
in voicing a preference for a constitutional amendment.

What’s the current consensus, did dinosaurs look more like chickens?
Some definitely had feathers, and some likely were brightly colored
In my mind, I picture of Sasquatch riding a dinosaur chicken
From what I know, most raptors had feathers and that’s where birds came from.
The broader group of theropods, including the T-Rex, had a precursor to feathers literally called “Dinofuzz”.
All other kinds of dinosaurs I believe are actually scaly like we thought.
Proto-feathers (basically hair) were basal to dinosaurs + pterosaurs, we have evidence for feathers on some dinosaurs (micro raptor had iridescent black feathers), fuzz on others (Psittacosaurus has long “quills” on its backend), and scales on others (Carnotosaurus, Diplodocus, large portion of T-Rex)
The idea right now is that the smaller ones probably had feathers, bigger ones had scales, unless they’re from China, then everything has feathers
… some of them.
Check out Prehistoric Planet, they say they used the latest research to make the dinos, feathers and all
Mammals are different than reptiles. A better comparison would be today’s reptiles.
Mammals only got yeeted to their own evolutionary tree branch 40 million years prior to those that would be considered reptilian (sorta dinos too) which was somewhere in the realm of 250 million years ago.
Meaninng the reptiles of today are ~5x further apart in time from dinosaurs, than dinosaurs are from their common ancestors to mammals.
I think we really should just not bother thinking in terms of current speciation concepts. They could have had jellyfish like tentacles dangling allover their skin and we’d never know.
A better comparison would be today’s birds, which descended from theropods and are the only remaining members of the clade Dinosauria.
Dinosaurs aren’t reptiles, they’re birds.
All birds are dinosaurs, not all dinosaurs are birds though
A pigeon is not a dinosaur.
That’s what the the pigeons want you to think.
All birds are descended from the theropods that survived the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event
Birds aren’t real
And birds and dinos are crocs (unlike most other reptiles)
