    sum body I’d say that dinosaur society revolved around certain dinos being able to wear things and other not being able too. The more fancy dinos would wear Bowties and Hats while others could not. Poor Trex could not wear both.

    One time i was at my uncle's farm when suddenly a mouse got out of a wall and ran in front of us across the patio. A rooster pecking next to the hen house noticed it as well. I didn't even had time to understand what was going on that the rooster started chasing the mouse, pinned it to the ground with its beak, threw it in the air and swallowed it head first. So when i heard some scientists saying that T-rex had feathers, i thought: Yeah that sounds about right.

    I think it's funny how there are now people reluctant to accept a featherless T-Rex because they're so used to it having feathers, when it was the exact same for most of us when they added the feathers in the first place back in the day. We were very much not keen to accept feathers on this iconic beast we all became very familiar with after the release of Jurassic Park.

    I'm sad to see the feathered t rex go, but the logic and research behind it seems pretty reasonable. The question is; if the adult didn't have feathers because of its size, did the babies have any feathers? It would be pretty interesting if the babies hatched with feathers, then molted them permanently once they grew to a certain size. Kinda like how Hoatzin chicks are born retaining claws on their wings, but lose them once their wings are developed enough to fly.

    I'd say that it would depend on whether or not it would be evolutionarily advantageous for the young to have feathers. Personally, I think it would make sense for them to have them, as feathers would provide extra warmth, camouflage, and protection in a particularly vulnerable stage of life. We'll have to wait and see if this is supported by evidence or not in the future, of course.

Also, real Tyrannosaurs had forward facing binocular eyes that could see and track very well, unlike the JP Rex that could only detect movement.

    the problem with Saurian is that they focus so much time and effort on the realistic dinosaur models...they are missing an overall realistic experience. the Cretaceous forest should be teaming with flying and crawling insects, small mammals, and flying birds, yet all you see are the big animals, and that is especially apparent in the juvenile stage when you are small dinosaur foraging the undergrowth. I would imagine an adult dinosaur would also attract small animals, just like how elephants have a following of egrets and oxpeckers, so would Triceratops or an Ankylosaurus must have been a great attraction for smaller Cretaceous animals. Had the focus was on only one playable animal, and a richer lively environment the game would be much less disappointing and much more enthralling, right now it's just too lifeless and empty.

And with it they found out that the triceratops wasn't a full dinosaur, it was just a baby taurosaurus the whole time. Since triceratops was discovered first it's a sensitive topic whether it's a taurosaurus or our beloved trike. Though taurosaurus looks much different .

    @Hans Hubner The Spinosaurus is my favorite dinosaur, but your statement is very incorrect, the Spino was bigger, but it would be destroyed by a T-Rex in a fight, Spinos just aren't made for fighting large land carnivores

    It's an old trick in publishing that is meant to grab the reader's attention. As a general rule you can usually answer it yourself with 'No', as it is mostly just bait, with the question often being rhetorical (because the author doesn't know the answer) or not even indicative of the underlying story. That's how you get headlines like: "Is this celebrity pregnant?" or "Can this drug heal cancer?". In this instance however the question is nonsense because the title as a statement is already more exciting than the question, which apparently is 'Yes' anyway.

    I love it! Finally we're back T-Rex not being some big feathered freak! I don't really know why people went that way! I've loved being able to tell all the people that were like, 'Ohhh, it's a big chicken! Though it may be an ancient ancestor of chickens, which I don't mind, but at least there are no feathers on them!

    Hi Ben! I loooooove your videos i'm such a fan you are so professional you have kept me entertained for hooouuurs. But i have a question for you - have you done any videos on ceratopsians? I had a look but i couldn't find any... if not, would you mind explaining the history of ceratopsian, the usual, what they evolved from, basal and derived ceratopsians? Ooor, you could even do a series! That would be amazing. Thanks, Ajay.
