Just finished the wonderful science book Feathers as he traces the path from dinosaurs to birds and then this fine fellow wandered down the beach yesterday.
Got me thinking what kind of rich colours the dinos may have sported.
We always seem to see them portrayed a dull gray green.....
The cassowary seems right out of dino land ...it dwells in an 80 million year old rain forest never glaciated.
The tecture of the legs and feet is right out of velociraptor ( and yeah they can be aggressive ).
The head and neck so so brilliant ...surely dinosaurs would have some similar display coloration.
I notice Archaeopteryx is coloured but drab in some depictions tho others it is bright.
Seems even without feathers there is no reason dinosaurs need to be drab.
Thoughts?
