I think the feathered dinosaurs look cool in their own right. sure, the "Raptors in the Kitchen" Scene in Jurassic Park wouldn't be HALF as scary if those raptors had feathers, but still, they look cool in a different way. Your Mileage May Vary.
I sometimes watch birds fighting over french fries in the parking and I imagine them as little miniature raptors.
in a few months we'll establish that a t-rex is a deep blue color
[QUOTE=MercZ;20911561]That is an interesting color it has. I wonder if it played into some camouflage role.[/QUOTE]
Well the whole area of East Asisa was just a large desert so it may have carryed the camouflage role out.

I think it had feathers exept on the head, which is red.
Same reason as a vulture.
I think it makes more sense if T-rex was a scavanger.
Impressive to say the least.

T-rex did not have feathers, there is no evidense.
We know some dinosaurs have feathers because the feathers fossilise along with the bones.

You are aware how few T-rex fossils they have found?
And actually, palaeontologists have found that the evolutionary forefathers of the T-rex had feathers, so it's an widely recognized theory that it had feathers.
Only thing that keeps this "evidenceless" is that they haven't found any wellpreserved T-rex fossils.

On which?
[QUOTE=Herr Sven;20916143]On which?[/QUOTE]
On the possibility of the tyrannosaurusrex having feathers, i've never heard about that theroy.

I've forgotten where I first found it, but I wouldn't state it if I didn't trust it.
Example of Tyrannosaurid with feathers is the Dilong paradoxus. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilong_paradoxus[/url]
Otherwise: Check around a bit.

Seems like a plausable theroy although this dinosaur is further down the tyrannosaur biological tree. Issues surrounding tyrannosaur biological tree can never be over analysed. There are many factors which influenced the development of tyrannosaur biological tree. Indispensable to homosapians today, tyrannosaur biological tree is featuring more and more in the ideals of the young and upwardly mobile.

That is true.
But please, use more correct terms. (Tyrannosaur = Tyrannosaurid, homosapiens = Homo sapiens)
I used to think all dinosaurs are brown in colour
Some consider modern day birds actual dinosaurs, the same way we're considered apes. (Not exactly the same considering we [I]are[/I] apes, but it's pretty much like that.)
Especially raptors had feathers.
Also, the way they found out is by analyzing fosilized pigments in the feathers.
Lol I don't get it , there is like 4 articles with titles like this on the site :

Now we clone them and make them fight our wars?
I bet the t-rex was bright pink.
