Are you posting a throwback to the 90s?

Where it comes from is irrelevant.
Why? Because old fossils hold up under modern scrutiny.
These days we're able to investigate for pigment traces in preserved feathers and similar integument. This is something pretty new, and isn't something that you'd predict would be possible back in the past.
But, old feathered fossils from China are found to have these pigment traces in them.

So either the Chinese predicted that we'd be able to find these pigment traces decades later and painted them on with microscopic brushes, or the fossils are authentic.

There’s just something about huge arthropods (insects, arachnids, crustaceans, etc.) that feels fundamentally “correct” and good. Their existence is inherently right; I’m glad they exist. They are the organismic archetype, biologically perfection incarnate.

Feathers are basal to reptiles. Modern reptiles are secondarily featherless.
It's a fairly recent thing, too. There's a reason the Aztecs still remembered feathered serpents.

No. Archosaurs, maybe, but that's deeply speculative.

Penguin social distancing arranges them in a sort of honeycomb pattern. Low ranking birds nest in the middle of hexagons and take fire from every direction.

I got one just like this when a kitten I was taking care of fell and caught my arm to save herself.
Our pathetic, rippable ape flesh is worthless for combat. Even a kitten's hide is tougher than a human's.

>>5084548
It's not that their hide is tougher but rather that it is more flexible and contorts around an opponent's claws to minimize damage

No, their bodies were covered in feathers and they mostly hunkered down by rivers and hunted fish, like a heron or stork.
