poliphiloThe dinosaur woman in Montana was cutting up ostriches. They're as close as you can get these days to a T Rex.
I've been trying to picture the T Rex with feathers. I don't think there's absolute proof it had them but the likelihood mounts. Those funny, stunted, little T Rex fore-arms- what if they were actually wings? I can imagine them with plumage attached, for display.
The more we learn about dinosaurs the less monstrous they seem. The dinosaur woman's mentor- top man in his field- said he thought of the T Rex as a sort of a vulture.
