True. :)

Velociraptors for example are only the height of a large chicken (2-3ft).
There are a lot of different dinosaurs in here: http://www.dinodictionary.com/dinos_uv.asp
It's good to see a scale included as well.

Here is another artistic rendering of the small chinese dinosaur Sinosauropteryx whos petrified remains I showed you above. This rendering is from a charming childrens book:

I always used to wonder what color certain dinosaurs were :) I had some plastic figures when I was younger, and I used to think, How does anyone know?

I used to think the same thing when I was a kid Moco. I bet they probably camoflauged with their sorroundings pretty well, although I saw that some, like oviraptor might have been brightly colored like peacocks, which is cool.

Now a new feathered dinosaur has been found. It is more distantly related to birds than most other known and its also older than most of them. The new dinosaur is from the Jura period and found in Germany. It is preserved in limestone and its feathery filaments are still visible.

New Feathered Theropod Dinosaur Found in Germany

An international team of paleontologists has discovered a new species of feathered dinosaur in southern Germany.

The fossil of Sciurumimus albersdoerferi, which lived about 150 million years ago, provides the first evidence of feathered theropod dinosaurs that are not closely related to birds.

Adaptation is amazing. Also, an interesting idea, possible feather-like structures in others - I wonder if that's going to be studied further now.

I liked my scaly behemoths...now they look like they're wearing sweaters or something. :<
