Well I didn't go outside in the sun, didn't mow the lawns, but I did finally wash the dishes.
My poor house is falling to bits.
It's time for some Gordon's dry, yahoooooo

It's been really fun hanging out with you guys today, if I didn't work we could do this every day, wouldn't that be awesome?

What is your fav giant furry killing machine? The brown bear?
So are you saying that they can tell with the fossils that these animals had feathers, just not what colour they were?
I bet the males would have had more impressive coloured feathers than the females at least, if any of them had bright colours.

All of the raptors look quite good with feathers, they are very bird like after all, and a lot of them hunted in packs -

By the way, as you can see from this drawing, the velocioraptor wasn't that big, but if you had a pack of them chasing you then you'd probably be fucked.
A stegosaurus with feathers would certainly look cursed!

A massive blood thirsty turkey that is more adapted to a colder, dryer environment. Yes, the representation could be more colorful, but as feather pigmentation doesnt fossilize well, that is left up to the artists. Coloration would largely depend on its surrounding habitat and having less striking coloration would benefit the animals camouflage ability. In the case of whatever species this is, effective hiding from prey instead of hiding from predators.
I am partial to giant furry killing machines.

I feel like it depends on the dinosaur. Like a velociraptor would look cool but a stegosaurus would look weird with feathers.
