Apparently, RJ was told by some experts that tyrannosaurid feathers are somewhat unlikely.

T.Rex is weird, like a mix and match critter, to quote TV tropes. Like the bastard child of an emu and a crocodilian, if it ate steroid cereal.

had scientist found quill nobs on the T-rex arms?
I mean is quill nobs is were the feather grow from?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The answer is no, tyrannosaur feathers weren't like those of modern birds and dromeaosaurs. They were most like those of emus and ostriches.
Not to mention, A lack of quill knobs does not mean the animal lacks feathers. Flamingos for example do not have quill knobs but obviously have feathers

Dilong feathered
Yutyrannus feathered
Gorgosaurus possibly feathered
Albertosaurus possibly feathered
the rest of the tyrannosaurs including t-rex do they have feather with no fossil evidance of them having feather don't say yes or no I say the real answer is uncertain.
I say until they find more specimens the question doe's t-rex have feathers is better off unanswered.

Just because we do not have direct evidence, does not mean we should just assume it did not have feathers. All the current evidence from tyrannosaurs strongly suggests all were feathered.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
You're right we don't know for certain, but the most plausible conclusion based on the evidence at hand is that T.rex did possess feathers.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
but what if the answer show we made a mistake i mean all animals are different even to their cousins I mean the Asian rhinos have folds and don't see any folds on the the African rhinos, the Javan and Idian rhino had 1 horn and the black rhino, white rhino and Sumatran had one horn, the Sumatran rhino is hairy but not woolly like the woolly rhino and the other rhinos hardly got any fur.
what I mean to say is different species of the same family do not have some same things one is to adapted to your environment and the mager reason why they are different is to recognize your kind.
but which dinosaurs had feathers that an easy question to answer look at this upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia…
should we wait for the right answer when they find more specimens?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Also you forget that all rhinos possess hair. With integument such as fur or feathers, in even distantly related organisms possess a similar skin covering simply with different distribution. The Wooly Rhino and the African Rhino might have a different distribution of hair, but nevertheless they have hair.

You can't just assume future undiscovered evidence will contradict the current most plausible skin covering.
By your logic, Dakotaraptor was discovered without a head; so should we just say we don't know if it had a head or not?
No, science works with what we got and if future evidence turns out to be wrong then we correct it.
"Should we wait for the right answer when they find more specimens?" We don't know if more specimens will ever be found. As said before, science works with what is currently available to reach a conclusion. What is most likely according to current evidence might not be what is with 100% certainty true, but we can't just assume that it is false without any basis to assume so.

but it better not make a mistakes

It's better to not leave it unanswered. Gravitate toward the more likely answer.

well done

Hey trey, can I ask ?
If they've discovered feathers on the tail of yutyrannus and dilong, then why saurian's trex has naked scaly tail ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
T.rex has a small patch of scales on the ventral part of its body. Other closely related Tyrannosaurs do as well. I recently learned that Yutyrannus has a small scale patch on the underside of its tail. Also many non-tyrannosaurid dinosaurs had scaled tails yet feathered bodies.
Saurian took all this evidence and found a middle ground.

Oh okay. Thanks for the info trey

Hey Trey, I have another question.
Does tyrannosaurus has a fully naked scaly underbelly ? Or the chest is the only feathered part ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I believe the tail is the only fully scaly part of the body

Hey I found an interesting article bonesharpesite.wordpress.com/2…
Any thoughts ?

No probs, I doubt it's 100% accurate, but it's the best I could do with such little data. hey are you the same TheGamingMaverick on Wikipedia giving misinfo?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, I keep getting mistaken for him/her and it is starting to get really annoying. Although considering we both seem to like T. Rex I can understand the confusion.

Oh that stinks man, sorry to here that

It is the same guy, Trey. Just trolling. The "Godzillasaurus Rex" image on his profile is proof.

Yeah that image is the one I use on my Facebook and the one I used to use for deviant art, but I don't even have Wikipedia account

I just made a new account, doesn't really matter since I only made this one not that long ago

I think the skin of t-rex that was found could be a damaged tissue? is it wrong?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
We don't know, the skin still hasn't been formally published yet and is currently just here-say

Dang I loved this video, like, fav and comment.
Do you wanna join the Paleopack? A group of artists. We could help you with research for your vids and your fans don't have to wait long for the next one. We really want to support you in any way possible and it would be an honour to have you as an group member.

Didn't they recently discover a new tyrannosaurid recently?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Tyrannosauroid, but yes.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I believe that it roughly matched the size of the largest carcharodontosauridea. You remember it's name?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Timurlengia eurotica. Fairly small, actually.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Horse-sized, as described by news releases. Comparatively small relative to carcharodontosaurs.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So, Trey, what do you think is more likely? Feathered or bare calves and tail?
👍: 0 ⏩: 3
I personally say it probably had bare featherless calves
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
What about the tail?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Underside was undeniably scaly, upper side probably was feather

Like something on Saurian?
