Hold on, this is a bird thing that isn't Normal/Flying? is that legal? Can they do that? I guess they did.
You know, speaking of dinosaurs and feathers and such, I'm not so sure I'm keen on the idea that Tyrannosaurus Rex was feathery. Like, that just rubs me the wrong way. A few dinosaurs I'll allow, they can have some amount of feathers, but the Big T should just be 10 tons of tyrannical thunder lizard scale and muscle and teeth, not weak shit like feathers.
Also, what about Brontosaurus and Apatosaurus? Who may or may not be the same person? You see "scientists" willing to sprinkle feathers willy-nilly over Velociraptors and Allosauruses, but you never see them put feathers on the herbivorous ones. Like, what the dick would Triceratops use feathers for? Or Ankylosaurus. It would be ridiculous, and I refuse to believe in such things. Also spellcheck needs to step their dinosaur-related game up majorly, the only one it recognized was Brontosaurus.
Oh yeah, Archen? Meh. It's alright, I guess, if you like ancient birds. (I don't really)
Overall: 5/10
The reason that dinosaurs like velociraptors had feathers was for insulation. The T-Rex only had proto-feathers that may have only belonged to the young of certain sub-species in colder climates. The reason that big animals like the apatosaurus don't have feathers is that they were big and heavy enough to insulate heat. The metabolic rate of an animal is equal to 70*mass^(3/4). This means that a regular mouse is less likely to survive in cold climate than an elephant as the elephant has more mass and can therefore more effectively manage heat
