    Inb4 the t rex is agreed to have had long, fleshy, limp whip arms that were far longer than the tiny bones.

    Oh for sure, without a doubt. Hell it took forever for people to figure out feathers.

    Then again, on rare occasion we do get some cool skin/soft tissue evidence like that Nodosaurus in Canada. Sometimes they’re strikingly similar to what we thought (or not?). I am not a paleontologist and I am speaking out of my ass.

    That Nodosaurus is super cool though, y’all should see it.

          Buckee the beaver

          Behold, the common ancestor between the deadly T-Rex and the common beaver. You can tell they’re related due to the tiny arms, upright stance, and fierce demeanor.

      Some definitely had feathers, and some likely were brightly colored
