Full circle

I for one like theropod chickens.

Scaling up a regular chicken always seemed more realistic & intimidating.

From my understanding, fossilized skin evidence suggests that T. rex had few feathers, if any.
T. rex was unfeathered (or at least the adults were) but other members of the Tyrannosaurus family were partly or fully feathered. Yutyrannus, for example.
It was the trend then.
