52,538 [MAUS] LittleWhiteMouse Members 13,795 posts Report post #19 Posted December 9, 2016 Various artist interpretations of a feathered North American T-Rex. Note that we haven't found feathers on this species yet. But it's rare we find ANYTHING of this species. We haven't even found a complete skeleton yet.
