>>379681669
You're antiquated news trying to persist its anachronistic nostalgia prompted by false studies, featherfag. Give it up and return to the era of Jurassic Park and Victorian Era dinosaurs. You'll be much happier.

>>379680330
Feathers are not, and will never be cool

>>379680330
Oh wow another pre-alpha early access game where people fight dinosaurs. I'm sure this one will actually be released and not fizzle out in beta.

>>379681797
You're come across like the barneyfag of mlp fans.

>>379681926
At least you get to be the dinosaur this time.
And by this time, I mean hypothetically this time, because we all know how early-access survival shit goes.

too bad the dino art is made by a retarded deviant art fag who doesn't know shit. look up arvalis on deviant art, that's him. Trex certainly did not have all those feathers. the young ones most likely had a form of light down feathers, but that trex is ridiculous.

the biggest offender though is that he gives the raptors fucking flight feathers. they did not have fucking flight feathers, feathers evolved as a form of insulation dammit. flight feathers never evolved until Archaeopteryx dammit.

>"This doesn't rule out feathers on even the biggest tyrannosaurs," said University of London palaeontologist David Hone, who was not involved in the research, "but does suggest they lacked a full coat of feathers."
>f feathers existed, they did so only along the animals' back or spines.

the title is very misleading, but either way the dinos in the OP have way too much feathers. I honestly didn't realize that some featherfags thought the whole thing was covered in feathers. that's just retarded

>>379680857
It was recently discovered that T-Rex and most likely ALL other dinosaurs didn't have feathers.
I think in light of this new discovery that a violent purge of all featherfags takes place immediately.

>>379682805
we've found raptors with feathers

it's quite clear feathers evolved at that point

>>379682552
What kind of feathers did raptors have on their arms? Do you have any accurate artwork?

>>379682805
anybody who thought feathers were on stuff like apatosaurus was a retard. certain theropods had them, some cerotopsids like psittacosaurus had quills. that's all an informed featherfag like me ever argued for. I don't even like feathers better than scales

>>379683059
Some non-theropods had feathers, including some small bipedal herbivorous dinosaurs.

most likely something like this. "feathers" before flight feathers aren't the same thing as today's feathers, and most artists aren't biologists or anything so they just make assumptions

Look, there is no doubt dinosaurs and birds are linked. Long-necked birds match the long-necked dinosaurs, Many dinosaurs (Triceratops for example) had beaks and duckbills just like birds, Bipedal carnivorous birds and dinosaurs have many anatomical similarities.
Not to mention feathers are an evolution of scales, this has been proven already.

However, the dispute is not the scientific evidence as such, but the FACT, the objective fact that dinosaurs look stupid with feathers. Thus the purge of ALL featherfags, however resonable they may be; must continue.

I've always imagined them being similar to some old world vultures.

>>379683390
But dinosaurs like Microraptor clearly had more feather than that on their arms, legs, and tail.

Dinosaurs were never real, the fossils are fakes buried in the Earth to make people doubt the bible. Earth is only a few thousand years old.
But seriously, only link directly to published papers of a reputable paleontologist. Not clickbait websites like BBC, Buzzfeed, or Huffington Post.

>>379681491
Monster Hunter. Not technically a dinosaur game, but it has some cool dino inspired monsters like Brachydios, Barroth, the Dromes, and of course Deviljho. There's also herbivores like Aptonoth and Apceros, which look pretty similar to a Hadrosaur and Anklyosaurus respectively

I thought most dinosaurs had feathers similar to the down that you see in young birds, and maybe the smaller theropods that were closely related to birds could have more advanced feathers.

Oh, go fuck yourself. There have been multiple species of raptors found with feathers, and would it really not make sense then for flying dinosaurs, like the pterodactyl to have feathers? You fucking moron?

Mate, they're reptiles. Not dinosaurs.

>>379683892
yeah archeopteryx was really close to microraptors. they had more feathers and were starting to turn into more modern looking feathers because they were small enough to make use of them by jumping from tree branches to tree branches. velociraptor, utahraptor, deinonychus, etc. were the ones I was complaining about him giving those feathers

nature doesn't give a fuck what looks or doesn't look stupid lol, get bent.

>>379683496
convergent evolution you retard. squids have beaks guess they are connected to birds. fish and reptiles both have scales, guess reptiles must be closest to fish? no. the only direct connection between dinosaurs and birds is with theropods. any other groups are only related to birds by being related to theropods

>>379684805
I can't find any impressions of those ones

> dinosaurs

This shit again. So basically God created dinosaurs to kill them all right after? This is pure non sense, just open some books, humans were the first on Earth, there is nothing like dinosaurs who did really exists

>>379684998
the study says that tyrannosaurus evolved to LOSE feathers, possibly because of gigantism

>>379684805
Microraptor is older and within the same family as Deinonychus and Velociraptor. Velocipator fossils have been found with quill knobs. They all had modern looking feathers on at least part of their bodies.

>>379684748
Birdlike movement is so creepy. It's not as noticeable when they're flying around, but for ratites and chickens it's noticeably alien how they move around and behave. Their brains are wired so differently from mammals, it's interesting to imagine how they process the world. Makes you wonder what a race of highly intelligent birds would even be like, or if it already exists.

>>379680330
Fucking paleontologists literally ruined dinosaurs.

>>379685140
No dinosaurs already existed for a long time then when God came to Earth and saw them he wiped them out. It's right there in the Bible.

All that we know, is that they see much better than we do up to 8x better, even seeing into the ultraviolet spectrum. They can have up to a 340 degree FoV, and also have an average reaction time below 100 milliseconds. It's pretty hard to imagine what that could be like.

>>379685426
It takes a little getting used to but you just have to remember most birds can't look straight forward like we do so if a bird is cocking his head at the ceiling it's because he's trying to get a good look at something. It's a harmless behavior.
