This book highlights a newly discovered T. rex relative in China with a coat of downy feathers! This one-ton predator is the largest known animal to ever have walked the Earth. This discovery was made public in April 2012, and is a timely addition that sets this book apart from other dinosaur titles.
Exploring the evolution of feathers in dinosaurs, the book delves into groundbreaking discoveries, including feathered Tyrannosaurs and four-winged species. It addresses current scientific inquiries and the evidence supporting the idea that birds are descendants of dinosaurs. By presenting the latest research and ongoing debates, the author engages young readers with the dynamic nature of paleontology, making it the most current resource for understanding how dinosaurs took flight and the role of feathers in their lives.
