- noworld 5y agoThat's amazing.
- dbingham 5y agoI do want to push back against the professor quoted as saying that this leg is conclusive proof that the herbivores didn't have feathers. Because to me, that leg looks like a bird leg. Bird legs are scaly and don't have feathers. And it's reasonable to wonder if these animals were somewhere in between - some feathering in some places, but not totally covered in them. I'm not saying they necessarily _did_ have feathers. Just that I don't think that prof stands on firm ground making that statement with such certainty. Makes it seem like he just has his favorite theory bone to pick.
