I came across this recent article claiming that dinosaurs were all aquatic, well, mainly because they looked better in water. Sadly, to my disappointment, this was not an April Fools' joke (or a very late one), but ah well, some still may find this funny too.
If only for one of the most striking examples of this theory: stating that a T. rex had small arms because as a fish-eater it would have held his prey up in his puny arms to examine it. Try to picture a T. rex doing that, go on, it's fun. I'm still giggling.)

Oh yes, cool find, eh? Although technically, Yutyrannus' feathers don't prove T. rex also had feathers, especially if further study leads to them eventually not being related. Still, just image Spielberg updating Jurassic Park with a fluffy T. rex!
(This seems like a perfect time to link to one of my all-time favourite drawings of a fluffy T. rex.)

Here's some really cool science:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKyljukBE70 One of my projects in high school was the incubation of quail eggs with daily dissection and drawings from initial incubation to hatching. It was a very interesting experiment. I regret that I have lost the drawings over the intervening 41 years, but I have never forgotten the amazing development recorded. We had nothing like the power of this imaging! But, wow!
