Velociraptor Had Feathers

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the well-and-wings-to-put-them-on dept.

Spy der Mann writes "A new look at some old bones have shown that velociraptor, the dinosaur made famous in the movie Jurassic Park, had feathers. A paper describing the discovery, made by paleontologists at the American Museum of Natural History and the Field Museum of Natural History, appears in the Sept. 21 issue of the journal Science."

    Could be a joke in here, but the weather is too nice for cheap shots.
    We are certain that these new birds are featherless, however.
