Description
I ended up doodling up this little guy while trying to figure out how it might have appeared in life. There may be errors, as I couldn't e.g. find out what the length of the filaments or extent of scales on the legs was.Juravenator is maybe the only feathered theropod more famous for its scales than its filaments, though it turned to have those as well. Whether it was a basal coelurosaur or something far more basal still remains to be seen. We don't even know what the adults looked like, when all we have is one juvenile.

I hate it when people go, "oh its been preserved with scales so they must have covered to whole body, heck with its classification let's stick with the fossils people!!"

Pretty much spot on how the animal probably looked to our current knowledge, in my opinion. Lovely sketch.

What a suiting name!
While the name Borsti is even more referring to the filaments, than the scales... XD

According to Rauhut and Foth (who had a panel at SVP) their most recent analysis found Juravenator to have ceratosaur-grade characters, which is pretty mind-blowing. Even so, I think we desperately need some more extensive analyses of theropod "chicks" like Juravenator, Sciurumimus, and Scipionyx to find where they all belong.

Take that with a pile of salt. Foth has made questionable claims in the past.Β

Yeah, I've heard. It would be exciting if it turned out to be really basal, because that would lend credence to the hypothesis that feathers are symplesiomorphic for Dinosauria.

Is it just me or does this name sound extremely German?

That's what you get when you let the German press name a dinosaur, I guess.

Okay, maybe that's the reason xD

It should, it's German slang for "fuzzy" or "hairy".

I know, I am from Germany. That's why I realised it.
It has the same name as the small pig from one of the Werner-films xD
