when my kid was in college, the class was challenged to attempt to prove that a T Rex was NOT covered in feathers.
He said the class could not. The bone structure was very akin to birds. Same with some other dinosaurs (I can’t remember which, and it was many years ago).
I was fascinated by his story of the class because I was brought up to believe that all dinosaurs were lizard like, but that is not the case, they were more bird-like in DNA he told me.
Anyways, fascinating, thanks for the article (not something I usually find here at FR), it’s great!
I guess T-Rex’s might have has an appetite for rotisserie roasted or fried human, eh? Maybe nature turned the tables on ‘em...
