The popular image of Tyrannosaurus Rex and other Dinosaurs may have to be changed as a
scientific consensus emerges that many were covered with feathers. Most predatory Dinosaurs
such as Tyrannosaurus and velociraptors have been depicted in museums, films and books as
covered in a thick hide of dull Brown or green skin. The impression was of a killer stripped of
adornment in the name of hunting efficiency. This week however a leading expert on dinosaur’s
evolution will tell the British Association ,the principal conference of British scientist, that this
image is wrong.
Gareth Dyke, a palaeontologist of University College Dublin will tell the BA festival of science
being held in the city that most such creatures were coated with delicate feathery plumage that
could even have been multi coloured. A fossil evidence that such Dinosaurs were that is
"irrefutable".
"The way these creatures are depicted can no longer be considered scientifically accurate", he
said. "All the evidence is that they looked more like birds than reptiles. Tyrannosaurus might
have been resembled giant chicks."
The latest visualisation suggests that part of ‘Walking with Dinosaurs’ the acclaimed BBC series,
cannot be seen as scientifically valid. Similar criticism might also be levelled at Hollywood
blockbuster ‘Jurassic Park’. The natural history Museum in London which has a popular
Exhibition of robot Dinosaurs, conceded this weekend that some of its permanent displays may
have to be adaptive to reflect the new findings.
The feather Revelation follows a series of discoveries in Fossil beds at Liaoning in northeast
China where a volcanic eruption buried many dinosaurs alive. It also cut off the oxygen that
would otherwise have rotted them away.
Some Theropod ("beast footed") Dinosaurs were preserved with feathery plumage. Theropod is
the name given to Predator creatures that walked upright on two legs balanced by a long tail.
The feathered finds include an early Tyrannosaurus, a likely ancestor of Tyrannosaurus Rex, two
small flying Dinosaurs and 5 other predators. Feathers are thought to have evolved first to keep
Dinosaurs warm and only later as an aid to fight.
