Paleontologists at the American Museum of Natural History and the Field Museum of Natural History have conclusively identified Quill knobs on velociraptor bones. Proving that velociraptors had feathers. Scintists have suspected that raptors had feathers for some time, but have never been able to prove it. Now with the discovery of quill knobs they know for sure.
So I guess the old Jurassic park movies will start to look even more dated. I remember how scary the raptors were in that movie. Trying to picture them with feathers just doesn’t quite cut it. Instead of the dangerous lizard look, we get the big ostrich look. Probably still just as dangerous, but it doesn’t quite have that same instinctive fear that the big lizard does. LOL
