  It was recently proven that at least some dinosaurs had feathers after a piece of amber was found with a perfectly preserved dinosaur tail

    I scanned and it said 2016? I thought we knew this for longer.

      It was speculated for a long time, but the proof is only 10 years old

  Yes we can. Hair is a mammal thing.

    do we know that ONLY mammals had hair for the entirety of evolution? /genuine

      There is a hairy frog. But he’s something of a psycho aberration.

      I think early feathers were hairlike but obviously in the sense of fur that covered the body. There were a lot of evolutionary factors that led to out hair that’s (1.) only on the head and (2.) grows far longer than necessary.

    It’s highly probable if dinosaurs evolved to look like this they’d have trouble breeding and die out.

      All the males only listened to Tatesaur, and then all the females lost interest.

    But what if a group of dinosaurs independently evolved hair or something highly convergent to it, but then that lineage left no descendants among modern birds, leaving none of them with the trait?

      If we are going to make up stuff we can’t prove or disprove, at least go big. Like maybe some of them breathed fire.

  Pretty sure we can, since there’s no keytars in the fossil record
