Pffft, T-Rex fears no Mapusaurus.

I love how they keep finding new stuff.

You know, this is a bit out of the topic, but Wanky, what do you think of that theory that dromaeosaurs are more like birds then dinosaurs? I mean, all the recent fossil founds from China for example, lots of feathered fuckers found from there.

Well, it's pretty much spot on to say that birds are a minor offshoot of dromaeosaurs, so technically speaking birds are dinosaurs and dinosurs are birds. Fully developed birds appeared around the mid Jurassic, so they've been around for quite some time.

Observe;
This ugly customer is a Hoatzin from South America

And this is a Hoatzin chick complete with fingers. The fingers are used to scramble around the branches until the bird can fly, then they disappear at a certain age.

This is a picture of a Hoatzin chick hand structure.

And this is a dromaeosaur hand.

Yep... the Maradonasaurus Rex for sure... And Messisaurus, Rikelmesaurus or Tevesaurus are good exemplars too
