From my 13 year old: dinosaurs had feathers.
You know why dinosaurs can’t talk?

‘Cause they are dead.

They apparently realized far more of the different species were birdlike than previously imagined. About a decade ago, a friend of mine was gifted a large coffee table book about dinosaurs compiled by paleontologists and scientific illustrators. Apparently it was a big deal because it was the first revision of the book that had all the updated "feathered looks" and it was very cool to see.

I thought all birds evolved from dinos. But I have no clue. I just post the facts the kiddo gives me. I am factless, he is factful.
I actually woke him up today to get the fact to post. I thought he was up doing his school work but apparently he wasn't feeling well so my wife told him to sleep in. I barged into his room and said "I need a fun fact to win us some sats". Haha
