Well. You could change the banner to something wider and not from JFC. Other than that it's perfect.

If I'm correct, fossilized skin from tyrannosaurus does not show feathers or impressions of feathers, but the skin may not come from where the feathers would actually be located.

A feathered T-Rex? Ridiculous! Feathers on such an enormous creature would serve no role or purpose.

What purpose do the feathers serve on ratites? If there's no specific reason not to have them, and your ancestors have them, then you have them. They'd be vestigial or display.

Having feathers is okay when you're 500lbs, try having them when you're 7-9 TONS. It's the same reason any large mammal has small amounts of fur/hair (Unless it lives in polar regions of course). If T.rexes were coated in feathers as adults, they would overheat. I believe rexes might have display feathers or maybe light down as hatchlings, but I seriously doubt the adults had anything more than a crest of quills behind the head.

Perhaps the feather version of a lion mane Oh the Spinosaurus had tiger stripes! And the Troodon would gather together, where they would angrily debate over which one was stronger.

I specifically said they wouldn't have been covered in feathers. Perhaps only in certain regions(like the quill reconstruction, or maybe the arms or the small of their backs), or small and thinly destributed like large mammals' hairs. The example I gave, Sinosauropteryx, is only covered about 50%. The Rex could be less.

When I say feathers, I don't mean this; I mean this; Wow that's pretty gross.
