Description
In 2004, Feenix published its cutting-edge Feathered Dinosaurs, which showed
all of the recently discovered species. The paleontologists have been very
busy because they have since discovered a great many more of these fascinating
critters. So many, in fact, that we had to create an all-new poster. It
shows 37 species, a big jump from the 17 shown on the original one. There
are now so many species that they are arranged by family, and each family is
introduced. Surprisingly, some of these families are greatly unrelated to ones
that were known to have feathered species.
Dilong paradoxus has been the most controversial. It is a member of the
tyrannosaur family, as is the famous Tyrannosaurus rex. The problem is that
Dilong lived many millions of years earlier, and it had feathers. This suggests
that the other tyrannosaurs which followed may have had them too. If so, then
good ole T. rex might have looked like a really big and ferocious chicken.
