Behold, the Zhenyuanlong. A close, newly discovered relative of the velociraptor.
This badass looking dinosaur is the largest ever discovered with a well-preserved set of birdlike wings. Researcher Steve Brusatte, one of the paleontologists involved with the discovery, told BuzzFeed:
“We know [velociraptor] itself had quill knobs on its arms, which in birds support big quill pen feathers. But we only have the bones for [velociprator], so we can’t be sure how big the feathers were or what they looked like.”
The fossil of this bird-like dinosaur is pretty cool too:
You can straight up see the outline of the feathers:
Pretty. F*cking. Cool. BUT— could Chris Pratt handle these raptors?
