This is like the folks who said they found a rock from Mars down in Antarctica. There seems to be a bit of a hole in their supposition.

How do they know these feathers were attached to a dinosaur?

Probably another fake one like they found in China.

Some believe modern day birds are actually dinosaurs.

But they also believe that the birds that flew during the time of the dinosaurs were not birds, lol.

Wow. A real “party girl”!

She was a hussy.

...

I think biologists are classifying them that way.

Oh boy!

I cannot wait until Velociraptors are running wild and free again!

Maybe there is still hope someone someday will find the mythical “horsefeathers”

I know they are real; my grandma told me about them so many times.

The mighty T-Rex with his stubby little alligator arms...

What happened to the settled science of Dinosaurs Are Lizards?!!

Now they are telling me that they were Feathered Serpents like an Aztec deity or something. Quetzalcoatl.

Settled science keeps evolving, I can’t keep up.

Hard to picture the mighty T-Rex covered in feathers.

It's pretty well established that dinosaurs were warm blooded. Warm blooded creatures generally need something for thermal insulation, which was the original purpose of feathers.

That’s all we need, giant ferocious chickensauruses that will give pit bulls a run for their money.

We had a feral rooster in our neighborhood that was bad enough, drew blood at least once.

Worst website I’ve ever seen. They need to clean off all the advertising crap that overlays the main story.

I didn't notice the ads. Then again, I have AdBlock Plus, Ghostery, and Grease Monkey installed on my browser, and they report blocking dozens of bits of trash on that site.

Quit spoiling the story. This is Science, dammit.

What breed was your “herding” dog. My friend had a Sheltie who would slam the front door every time we tried to go out of the house. One day there were six of us all running in and out of my beach cottage and working in the yard and the poor dog was going crazy because she could not get the people herded into one area.
