i'm fucking tired of feathered dino hate in here, with the right designs they can look gorgeous, like in prehistoric kingdom
that said you have to consider both characterization, motifs/patterns and species when making a feathered dinosaur: you're certainly not going to make a stegosaurus with feathers, making feathered large theropods isn't fitting and lazily taking existing birds' plumage is a shit job. not to mention that putting realistic dinosaurs in fucking jurassic world is such a fucking stupid design clash i can't believe people let that shit run, only because of accuracy autists i guess?

non-bony elements in fossils have been found for ages and recognized ever since paleontology became a real thing, else we wouldn't have found all those soft invertebrates (which are mostly "impressions" in the rock though)
they do tend to be really rare but a lot of dinosaur skin impressions, integument (feathers included) and internal organs have been found on the regular
see: scipionix, sciurimimus, mummified hadrosaur
>>
I think you can have accurate dinosaurs but Jurassic Park should be left alone for the sake of style preservation.
It was never meant to be accurate in the first place. Don't know why so many retards want to change that.

I do not understand why do we believe that dinosaurs existed but dragons didn't? Like why every culture in the world have their own depictions of dragons if it didn't exist?

because for some reason jurassic world is really really hated by the whole scientifically-oriented dinosaur community
oh who am i kidding, it's autism as usual; these people just can't stand that the most popular dinosaur media ever, basically synonym with dinosaurs as a whole, doesn't give two fucks about scientific accuracy and animal-like behaviors and they really can't wrap their minds over the fact someone would rather see a t-rex maul people and shit to death than it doing whatever the fuck those autists want it to do. it's just yet another facet of Great Autismo. and the funny thing, most of the attempts those guys do at making accurate media get completely ignored because, surprise, their view of dinosaurs being boring animals is boring.

something being scarier doesn't automatically make it cooler you autistic nigger
>>
>>728885667
feathering aside, they could've have fat deposits to mitigate the cold, and despite not being actually confirmed, it's a leading reasoning behind the theory that dinosaurs ere hot-blooded (or at least had alternate homeo-heterothermy)
on the other hand, there seems to be lending that even in the late cretaceous the earth kept being hot enought to have minimal, if at all boreal/polar biomes

Right back at you again.
Slapping feathers on something doesn't automatically make it cooler. Shitting your diaper about it like you fags always do wont make people think they're cool, either.

>>728885667
Both scales and feathers are correct because dinosaurs ruled earth for over 100 MILLION years and they lived everywhere in many different biomes so evolution went in different directions. There is evidence for both.

i think that's only because not many big birds exist that are violent and aggressive.

it's not like jurassic park isn't in a shit state right now, with hybrid dinosaurs being all over the place because making good stories with the existing cast and species isn't enough
though to be fair i think it's seriously hard to make a decent story centered on dinosaurs without stepping on already trodden narrative territory, if you get what i mean. there's a reason most of the time they are merely a setting or cannon fodder enemies in movies and vidya

Yeah that's true too. One thing featherfags like to accuse JP fans of is accepting all those shit World designs over feathers just because they aren't accurate when that's far from the truth.
I haven't met anyone that actually likes any of the designs from World, like Giga for example. It's just horrendously ugly.
JP's style made their dinosaurs aesthetically pleasing in ways that made sense.
>>
could it be that they confuse types of dinosaurs?
some were reptiles and some were birds. i doubt there would have been some sort of hybrid reptile/bird thing. reptiles that have wings now don't have feathers, so is it not possible that dinosaurs with feathers were just birds, and some dinosaurs were reptiles. other dinosaurs in the sea were just massive whales and other creatures. also giant insects. is dinosaur just a catch all for massive extinct animals in the past?
>>
>>728883626
This whole thing about hating feathered dinosaurs seems to me like the reaction of retards who watched Jurassic Park as children and became attached to the artistic design of those specific dinosaurs, rather than the reaction of people who are genuinely interested in and study dinosaurs.

>>
I legitimately don't understand what's not to like on an aesthetic level about some dinosaurs having feathers. Non-feathered dinosaurs have always felt like lizards with a size slider set to fuckhuge values, which is all fine and dandy, but with some feathers sprinkled in you get something distinct and exotic compared to what we have today, not fitting the image of a typical scale-only reptile despite their general look, while also still being a far call from modern birds.

yes, aestethics and characterization trump over accuracy all the time.
paleo autists tend to adorn their dinosaur designs with garish colors and unfitting patterns, and portray their dinosaurs in boring poses and actions that, while arguably realistic, they don't really appeal anyone beside other like minded people
real artists not only do whatever they feel it's better fitting for the creature, they may as well ignore these preconceptions as they aim to just make a good piece of art/creature design. it's also unsurprising that they are the ones that make homages to JP and WWD, unlike paleo autists that either turn a blind eye or try to pathethically rectify these in their own headcanon
i appreciate prehistoric kingdom despite being a shit game exactly because it leans on the latter rather than the former regarding their dinosaur designs

There's an irony in it being retarded because it's meant to "one up" the T. Rex, in-universe and in the real world. I'd say that the spinosaurus from 3 is more retarded simply because there was no in-universe explanation for it being better than the T. Rex.

Give me the rundown to someone completely ignorant on the topic. Is the general understanding that dinosaurs COULD have had feathers in theory, i.e. there's nothing scientific that says they didn't, or that they actually did provably have feathers?

micro raptors and their descendants probably did have some feather or something like. The problem is when they drop them on all theropods.
T-Rex almost assuredly did not have feathers. We have fossilized skin of them.

>>728891104
Some did, some didn't, some had things that were like feathers but clearly not, and we just don't know and never will.

Reminder that this is the only evidence we have of Velociraptor having feathers.
Barely visible bumps on a single, eroded bone.
From this, Redditors decided EVERY raptor had feathers despite there being no actual evidence and paleontologists ran with it because that meant more funding.
>b-but what about China's feathered fossils???
Funny how the West has had skin in the game for much longer with next to nothing to show for it as far as feather evidence goes on things like raptors, but once China gets involved suddenly it's breakthrough after breakthrough.
Pure coincidence, I'm sure. Nothing to do with their reputation of pretending to be better than everyone else.
Oh, and pay no attention to things like Archaeoraptor, once considered a "missing link" between dinosaurs and birds, and other proven fossil forgeries to scam rich customers out of money. You shouldn't raise an eyebrow at that, that doesn't count.

That's not a theropod. it's a nodosaur. and they were going extinct right around when feathered theropods were coming around iirc.

Because on average a bird is rather harmless to a human, they are extremely common and are seen almost daily depending what you do.
Lizards on the other hand are much rarer to see, this invokes more mystery about them, people immediately think about large dangerous lizards, and because they look cool.
If someone brings a pet lizard and a pet bird to school, the boys want to see the lizard and the girls want to see the bird.

>>728893226
It is actually hard to tell if an animal is a herbivore or not based on the bones. Alot of turtles are carnivores yet they would look like something that never hurt a fly. Monkeys are mostly herbivorous, yet they have sharp teeth while we human eats and hunts more often, yet we have herbivore looking teeth. You might never know, what if Ankylosaurus were omnivores and eat fish like turtles nowadays? Or even better, actually carnivorous?

Reminder: Although feathers are basal to dinosaurs (see Kulindadromeus), some species evolved to lose it completely like the Ankylosaurs. This mummified Borealopelta is proof of that. Then there's Carnotaurus with its skin impressions showing scutes, a mummified Edmontosaurus showing pebbly skin, and T. rex scaly skin impressions. People like to draw T. rex with feathers because its distant ancestors that are 60 million years apart had feathers, but modern tyrannosaur fossils mostly show scaly skin impressions.

>proposed evidence

Featherfags are the ones ignoring evidence. We have multiple scaly skin impressions of tyrannosaurs; that's the REAL evidence. But because some little ancestor 100 million years ago had some tufts, featherfags decided that every single dinosaur must have feathers even when they don't make sense. A giant as big as a T.rex would overheat and die if you cover it with insulation.

A few raptor cousins were confirmed feathered. Almost every other dinosaur was confirmed not feathered, specially the T. Rex. But furries are still trying to push the feathers to every dinosaur with the argument
>maybe they lost when they grew up therefore they did have feathers despite every fossil being confirmed having scales
>>
I like scales and feathers and find it more or less inevitable that feathers would epigenetically emerge or go dormant in the mostly-theropod species that might plausibly have had them based on environmental factors, IE when it's cold they'll grow in, when it's hot they'll drop out. There was already evidence for partial/situational endothermy in dinosaurs by my recollection, so why not seasonal feathering?
>>
I like both, and I'm cool with whatever ends up being true for each species/genus/etc grouping and find it fascinating, but as far as entertainment goes reptile kaiju are awesome so I want more big murder lizard movies and games regardless of the science.

and that sort of thinking lasted a long time, even in the 90's there were still people like Jack Horner who tried to downplay dinosaurs like T. Rex, seeing them as outdated and therefor they had to be slow, it was impossible for a predator that size to be nimble and smart because mammals can't reach that size while being nimble and smart

modern paleontology treats dinosaurs largely like animals while trying to minimize bias, that means if it turns out some of them had feathers they'll get feathers, also means if it turns out some of them were far stronger and faster than initially assumed, they'll be represented as such

This is the kind of thing you say when you've never seen animals in real life. Reptiles are the dumbest animals on Earth, they are dumber than retarded their brains are so underdeveloped they literally don't even have the capability to be retarded because they basically act entirely on instinct due to their tiny shitty brains.
Birds can at least display higher levels of intelligence, learning, social hierarchy, tool use, flight migration patterns, long term memory, ability to recognize faces including human faces, observational learning, communication, object permanence, self awareness, etc.
A dinosaur that is the dumbest fucking creature alive isn't scary, an intelligent predator, which is exactly how they are portrayed in ALL media, books, movies, vidya, Jurassic Park, Dino Crisis, everything portrays them as smart. Nothing at all like an actual reptile brain would behave.

This has got to be one of the most retarded posts I've ever read. It's clear birdfags have an agenda and don't actually like animals enough to know how fucking stupid making a post like this is.

Steve Irwin is vastly more trustworthy than CNN.
CNN has a long track record of blatant lies.

>The southern cassowary has been responsible for at least two human deaths. The first recorded fatality occurred in 1926 in Australia, and the second happened in Florida in 2019.

The feathers on dinosaurs are like pic related, ignore all the BS colourful shit

your perfect lifeform sir

>>728896543
Why did these lazy fucks survive utter devastation while dinosaurs didn't? Doesn't add up.
>>
>>728885559
my question is this: how did multiple cultures (all not in contact with each other often or at all) come up with the idea of dragons as flying, fire-breathing reptiles if dragons didn't exist?
>>
>>728906726
No Dinosaurs had primitive feathers and I'm tired of fags making shit up

Nope, sorry, they looked like parrots and peacocks and you're just gonna have to get used to it, dipshit.

>>728907081
I get you're being facetious but we still have them all over Australasia and they should be used as evidence
>>
>>728907250
Cute cope, we all know you're just being a science denier at this point.

Crocs just sit in a river and wait for food to come to them, either living or floating downstream. They have extremely low metabolisms and can do hibernation. Also, probably a lot of species of crocodiles did go extinct. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_szMq4hXJuc

>Acktually they are bumps
Soft skin with bumps hardly survive millions of years. That T rex skin fossil is scaly. And if T Rex do have have feathers, the feathers should be the thing to remain instead of skin.

Jurassic Park chads will continue winning.
