Did you know that the peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) is one of the fastest dinosaurs of all time? Reaching speeds of over 200 miles per hour while diving in on prey this feathery predator is at home in both wild open fields and atop busy city scapes!
The peregrine falcon has pointed long wings making it a heavy wing loading, and rapid wingbeats yet provide an energetically expensive high speed.

surely the purpose of this thread isn't to start a pedantic debate about taxonomy

fun fact, the closest living relative of the compsognatus is the tyrannosaurus rex

fun fact, sauropods are technically birds and therefor feathered and capable of flight

Fun fact. Dinosaurs were reptiles, not fucking birds.

If dinosaurs had feathers does that mean they flew south for the winter? Then why didn't they just fly away from the ice age? checkmate atheists
>>
>>2465871
Are you retarded? The meteors split Pangea apart and since they weren't adapted to long continuous flights they drowned in the ocean.
>>

They had scales. The fossil of the ankylosaur that was recently discovered proved this. Not a feather in sight. Much more reptilian looking than avian.
>>
>>2465892
what if 'scale' is just the dinosaur word for 'feather'?
>>
>>2465871
You can literally just search it up on wikipedia for its taxonomy you fucktard
>>
>>2465915
Surely you didn't just edit the page :^)
>>
>>2465895
But you would still translate it to/from English as feather.

Were dinosaurs reptiles? Srs

Did you know there is a species of fish that learned how to build airplanes?
>>
>>2465224
Wait so what happened? Is the first one dead? Did that bird fly off?

>T.rex
>closest living relative
Um I don't know how to tell you this...
>>
>>2465892
I don't think they were avian but we're their scales actually scales? Keratin is weird shit. Did they have both?
>>
>>2465917
Good point tho, but i didn't no xD but honestly now, wikipedia is a pretty good tool to keep track of the taxonomy of certain species and its never a bad thing to read a little here and there, just a recommendation tho :o) i dont want to force anyone
