I'm trying to collect more images of accurately feathered raptors. Please post your collection!
>>5077657Here you go, king.
So... Can these things glide if they jump from high enough?
>>5077727they were probably capable of powered flight, at least as much as turkeys or chickens.
>>5077727based on the size of the wings probably closer to breaking their fall
>>5077732You don't grow feathers anchored to bone unless they're supporting your full weight
A lot these pictures of feathered raptors still look odd. They would be much more birdlike
Again why do flightless animals supposedly have flight quills
>>5077727The smaller species could. The larger ones would have had them because their smaller ancestors did. Microraptor and co were likely capable of powered flight>>5077807Lots of flightless birds have them
>>5077727>Can they (...)no, they're all extinct dumbass
>>5077844Trvke
>>5077807I don't understand people who still think nature/evolution is purely utilitarian and ignore vestigial structures and other things that linger long past usefulness.
>>5077807>>5077813>>5077727>>5077730Microraptorines and juvenile Deinonychus could fly. If you include unenlagiines then Rahonavis and Buitreraptor too
Is this a paleoschizo bait thread?
>>5078253what do you think?
>>5078257Well where is he?
>>5078048the afghan is a kig-yar
>>5078206I think about he end cretaceous event and the crushing loneliness of being a raptor far from the impact, deaf, alone on snowy plains barely scraping by.
>>5078326he's here. He's always here.
>>5078339>don't talk to me or my son ever again
>>5078339I can tell this was drawn by a degenerate zoophile
>>5078680Takes one to know one
>>5078680Whenever I see someone claim this on 4chan they are often wrong and just a very shitty person making assumptions based on nothing whatsoever.
>>5077844No they aren't. Birds definitely still exist.
>>5078339>>5078734Kys faggitor
>>5078680Its the eyes right?
>>5078735fucking illiterate retard faggot
>>5078734"I can tell this was drawn by a degenerate", says guy responding to art that 99% of the time is from an artist with only sfw art.
>>5078339Very cute image. I bet she's a good mom to the little raptorlet.
>>5078838You are too innocent
>>5079257No, I've see that kind of snide bullshit way too much, it's always like that, and often with literally no receipts or proof of the insinuation. Literally muh feelings and vibes over any sort of objective fact.
Sleep
>>5079547I can tell this was also drawn by degenerate zoophile
>>5079556You appear to be projecting
>>5079556
>>5079583Paleoschizo found in the wild
>>5077657How come no ancient civilization writes about dinosaurs but every one has dragons?
>>5079604because you've defined "dragons" to include stuff like snakes, and every civilization knew about snakes
>>5079604>>5079610Dragon's aren't exclusively reptilian either. There are some dragon myths where they are mammal-like or fish-like. "Dragon" is just a popular name given for a bunch of different, unrelated big creatures from different cultures around the world. There isn't any universal dragon myth.
>>5079558nah
>>5079604Why would they write about animals that were long dead before their species even became a thing?
>>5079604ancestral memory of being the ancient mammals which they preyed upon
>>5077657>dinos totally had feathers >I read about it on leddit trust me bro >evidence? fuck off lizard fag LOLWhy are they like this? Is it the micro plastics that made the zoomie generation of dino enjoyers so retarded?
>>5081438>dinos had feathersis vague. Which dinos? All dinos? Some dinos?>if some dinos had feathers then all dinos had feathersis typical autistic false dichotomy.given the amount of retardation and autism on 4chan, it's expected that people here will fuck this up every time. Back in real life the normal people say>some dinos had feathersand everyone nods politely and moves on.
>>5081438>dinos were totally shrinkwrapped>i read about it on facebook and my 2nd grade teacher said so trust me bro>evidence? fuck off bird fag LOLWhy are they like this? Is it the lead that made the boomer generation of dino enjoyers so retarded?
>>5081438I love when I see a new tripfaggot and they give me reason to filter them immediately. Makes my life much easier.
>>5082746Clearly drawn by a degenerate zoophile
>>5082769Grok says this was drawn by a degenerate zoophile
