I love Dinosaur Revolution! It's (probably) the only dinosaur show that I've seen where I haven't found any dromaeosaurid anatomical inaccuracies to complain about! Great job!

I do not remember any Pyroraptors from Dinosaur Revolution. I do, however, remember one from another show called Dinosaur Planet (said raptor was called Pod and got swept up by a tsunami and dumped on an island of dwarves).

This is awesome I saw this Dinosaur Revolution and they made some great progress! I read that these models were based off of Velociraptor. osmolskae instead of Velociraptor. mongoliensis.

What is the point of flight feathers on an animal who can't fly? That would be as helpful as a human having a tail made of limp skin... It would just get stuck in things.
Very nice model though either way.

Velociraptor's "wings" are based on special marks on the forearm bones which shows that there were quite big feathers. Wings can be used for different purposes. Not only for flight. For example they can be used as a "rudder" during the running or in the "mating season". As for the protofeathers, they were found on different dinosaur groups.

It's because they were used for insulation and most likely a form of gaining speed and using agility. They may have even used feathered limbs as windbreaks when turning to turn on a dime.

Yes indeed,Though dinosaurs evolved from chickens they are birds sence they have a Wishbone.

chickens and dinosaurs evolved from a common ancestor

Everyone has an opinion

My previous question was stupid, it's obvious that you've participated in documentaries. And visiting your gallery a bit longer before commenting would have confirmed it. Sorry for having asked the obvious
And feathers ! yeah ! More than a lizard not a bird yet. It is so interesting!
So I assume that you work often with dinosaur's specialists. Do you think some tyrannosaurs had feathers?

I don't think that big Tyrannosaurs had feathers. Moreover, there are some marks of their scales.

Dinosaurs do not have scales

funny. )))) Ceratopsians, Thyreophora, Sauropods and Ornithopods are not dinosaurs? Or maybe Carnotaurus isn't dinosaur too? Very original point. )).

carntosaurs IS a dinosaur

wow. I'm, glad that you admit it

but the point is the ones you awserd is dinosaurs dinosaurs evolved from chickens so a dinosaur is a bird kk?

dinosaurs evolved from chickens?? X'DDD

No one knows not even you we werent even alive at that time so how could we possibly know? estimating would be the thing im doing

chickens evolved after dinosaurs tho, there's no fossils of chickens in the Mesozoic. That's like saying that we evolved from modern day chimpanzees, which we didn't.

I DID NOT SAY THAT.i clearly said no one knows all about dinosaurs except god you are just an idiotΒ
π: 0 β©: 1
lol ok yes god knows all that's why he said the earth was flat and that the sun was created after the earth in his book which is completely accurate
π: 0 β©: 2
Um I'm sorry but God didn't say any of those things. Humans did.

BIRDS DO NOT HAVE SCALES

Not the adults but some documentaries suggest that the young Tyrannosaurs may have had some. But I don't know where researchers are currently in their assumptions ^^

Dinosaurs are in fact warm-blooded reptiles - overgrown lizards that could move with the agility of a bird

Now why write facepalm when there is an emoticon just for that purpose?
: facepalm : see?
And why did you facepalm?
π: 0 β©: 1
Because dinosaurs have nothing to do with lizards.
π: 0 β©: 1
Why do you say that?
π: 0 β©: 1
Dinosaurs are archosaurs while lizards are squamates.
π: 0 β©: 1
The word sauros comes from the Greek word for lizard. Ergo, dinosaurs are lizards. I didn't say they were true lizards, but they are indeed related.

But names are irrelevant.
We named the bird of prey Falconiformes after falcons-turns out falcons are not birds of prey.

What do you mean names are irrelevant? Names might not be 100% totally accurate, but they are in no way irrelevant.
Then what exactly is the falconiformes family? They have a hooked beak, razor talons, and prey on other birds. Sounds like the correct cirteria. The only difference would be the wings.

Falcons are genetically closer to parrots, terror birds, and sparrows
π: 0 β©: 1
And yet parrots could essentially be considered a bird of prey since they tend to have sharp talons and have big hooked beaks; if we're going by what they look like.

What I am saying is nomenclature has nothing to do with phylogeny.
