With the current theories that birds evolved from theropod dinosaurs, of which T-rex is a member, some people have portrayed T-Rex as a giant chicken full of feathers. Thankfully that appears not to be the case.:)

T-rex did have tiny little hands, however.

So the ancestors of our SOS didn’t have feathers!?

What? Tillerson was a fan dancer?

Only the gay ones did..............

My own theory was that earth used to have a lower gravity, which allow for bigger creatures to live. Gravity increased, which created the dinosaur to go extinct. Aligned with the electrical universe theory

It's a lizard and if anyone denies that they're an idiot!

It's a bird and if anyone denies that they're an idiot!

The first known fossilized skin impressions for Tyrannosaurus rex suggest that this gigantic carnivore, unlike many other dinosaurs, had little to no feathers.

The author makes it sound as if all other dino's had feathers, but in the next statement, refutes that.

There seems to be a real determination on the part of some paleontologists to cover every single dinosaur in feathers. The fossil evidence showing that birds have a direct descent from the dinosaurs seems clear enough, but I’m glad to see clear proof that the Tyrannosaurs I used to love reading about and drawing as kid were big, scaly monsters and not really big parakeets.

"Feathers? T-Rex don't need to stinkin' feathers."

[KC_Lion]

Wow. Very interesting, thank you for posting.

The theory is that dinosaurs were the ancestors of modern birds. That’s about as reasonable as saying that modern scientists evolved from dodo birds. They should show how many species of birds have or had fearsome teeth if they want to support the idea.

Of course, ordinary mortals aren’t allowed to argue with scientists because they alone are able to think. If they say there’s global warming or anything else, believe it. Otherwise, you’re anti-science.

I thought this was an article about the SOS. LOL! I hadn’t heard anything about his feathery past. Thought it was fake news to offset his ride with Rolling Thunder.

This is the only t-rex with feathers that I can remember being posted here last year. It's still just as funny.. I want it in my yard :D

Discovery Raises New Doubts About Dinosaur-bird Links:

"Frankly, there's a lot of museum politics involved in this, a lot of careers committed to a particular point of view even if new scientific evidence raises questions," Ruben said. In some museum displays, he said, the birds-descended-from-dinosaurs evolutionary theory has been portrayed as a largely accepted fact, with an asterisk pointing out in small type that "some scientists disagree."

Don't you just hate rumors?

[VaeVictis]

Awesome. ROFL!

Oh brother, despite the evidence they are STILL holding onto the idea that T-rex had feathers... its just this specimen had evolved out of feathers:

Persons said that the feather coats of the tyrannosaur ancestors probably served as insulation to hold in body heat. As T. rex and certain other tyrannosaurs grew ever larger over time, their need for feathers probably diminished.
