Velociraptor Feathers
Posted to Miscellaneous category
Ooh, neat. According to Pharyngula, scientists have found some velociraptor bones with fine details preserved. They can see the places where 14 big feathers attached to each arm of the velociraptor.
So they didn't just have downy fuzz to keep warm, they had big heavy feathers that needed anchoring, too.
The big question now is: "What did they do with their big feathers?"
I vote for dancing like grouse.
