Scientists uncovered feathered dinosaur in China proving relation to birds
Paleontologists in China unearthed a 128 million year old two legged theropod fossil with full sized bird like feathers. The specimen suggests warm blooded traits and a feathered tail and limbs, supporting the dinosaur bird connection. Museums and researchers debate feather authenticity, but the find adds to the growing evidence of feathered non avian dinosaurs.
