Finally, there is good evidence that large tyrannosaurs had feathers! This is outside of the true tyrannosaurs, being more closely related to creatures such as Guanlong, but sheer size alone makes it a good bet that Tyrannosaurus had feathers.

A rhino beetle would demolish any stegosaur at parity, so would an ant. Every current living carnivore would beat one at parity.
Keep failing insect fanboys, I'm smart enough to know what the square-cube law is

This thread has been too off-topic due to your fanboyism

Just because we disagree with you we are automaticly insect fanboys? If anyones a fanboy here its you. You continue to bring up how pathetic insects are and how powerful sauropods are, in every single thread. Like on that recent thread that was started by a new guy introducing himself, you had to make a stupid comment asking him if he thinks sauropods are stronger then bugs or somthing like that.

I would strongly suggest that you read the thread on scaling.

I can find AT LEAST 3 threads-

Insects are weak? lol
http://carnivoraforum.com/topic/9384972/3/#new
Utahraptors have more pain tolerance than Fighting bulls? lol
http://carnivoraforum.com/topic/9544214/2/
Bats are not as cool as Dinosaurs? lol
Insects ARE weak, just try killing an ant and you'll find out how effortlessly easy it is

Reptilian pain tolerance>>>>>>mammalian pain tolerance

and as for the last one...
compare these:

Wouldn't it be more similar to "bird pain tolerance" since Deinonychosaurians are the sister clade of birds? Also the reason you can easily kill the ant is because you are bigger than it. If you were the size of the ant, you would be ripped to shreds more easily than any vertebrate predator would be able to do.
FAIL, you have obviously never heard of the square-cube law
Unlike everyone else arguing about the strength of insects, the scenario I am referring to is the human being shrunk down to the size of the ant. Of course the insect would collapse under its own weight if it were the size of the human, but shrink your human or your sauropod to the size of the ant and it will rip your poor vertebrate to shreds. And this is coming from someone that isn't as interested in insects as he is in theropods, especially maniraptorans.

fail again, a human the size of an ant would break the ant easily

and let's get back to topic guys

I actually like the idea of feathers. I think rexy would look sick with a mane of some sort haha.
Or it could of looked like this.

I think this drawing is inaccurate bc we know that the underside of T-rex tail was scaled. There are the fossil prints of it.

I think a completely feathered t-rex doesn't look too cool. Like what DinosaurMichael said, that would be epic if t-rex had a mane of feathers.

But the chicken could, very well, be a small, weak t-rex. Although it doesn't seem like a huge carnivore like tyrannosaurus could turn into such a wimp, it is entirely possible that they were closely related.

Maybe Tyrannosaurus was like this

Looks likely, but it was larger than Yutyrannus and lived in a warmer area.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!idc t rex had feathers its just now their putting fucking feathers on all damn dinos
Whats fucking next??????feathered SAUROPODS????
1. We have no evidence for T REX to have feathers, only for a smaller relative.

2. What's wrong with it, to me feathered dinos look quite cool.

3. Haha good one, the largest Sauropods would die from extreme heat, but the smaller could wear some.

1. Well, actually there is evidence for feathers on tyrannosaurus. Mainly in the younger specimens though.

2. I also think feathered dinosaurs look cool. However, I only think the dinosaurs like velociraptor and troodon look good with them. Others like more primitive theropods look awful with feathers. However, they has been only one feathered dinosaur more primitive than ceolosaurs. Others had quills.

3. There has been no evidence of feathers in sauropods. In fact, there had been no findings of feathers in any other dinosaurs besides ceolosaurs and scirumimus (a megalosaur). However, like I just said, some members of the ornithiscia have been found with quills. Nothing more, nothing less.

I know, it's Yutyrannus, but it is a lot smaller and more slender than T rex also its area seems colder(nearly anything there has feathers), still feathers for a T rex doesn't seem unlikely.

I know, this was just theory, but we have found feathers in Psittacosaurus, who isn't even a Coelurosaur.
