Some Dinosaurs Had Feathers
It may surprise you to learn that many dinosaurs were covered in feathers rather than scales. Recent fossil discoveries, especially in China, have revealed that theropods, such as Velociraptor, sported feathery coats. These feathers likely served multiple purposes, such as attracting mates, keeping warm, or even aiding in gliding. This exciting evidence strengthens the evolutionary link between dinosaurs and today’s birds.
