Yet at the same time downy-covered young might make sense, considering proto-feathers were discovered to cover a smaller anscestor of Tyrannosaurus, it is unreasonable to believe that the end result had complete lost this downy covering.

I have no problem imagining it and I've seen a pic of a young rex with feathers, looked pretty good if you ask me.

that pic I have more problems with because it looks like it could provide little insulation. Todd's art is beautiful, but that one just doesn't seem accurate.

Well it's already partly grown so it doesn't need a whole lot of insulation

To me, that looks ok...
but the one I saw in the book was NOT very .... convincing or pretty... (lol)

young with feathers can make sense.

Yes, I agree... but a grown one with feathers look a bit "odd"... (depending on how an artist has presented it...)

Anyway, Remember our last argument on if Reptiles can be tamed or not...? Well, I finally got a reply from Australia Zoo (yes, Steve Irwin's famous zoo...lol). And this is what I got...:

QUOTE Thank you for your email. In regards to your question, the word 'Tamed' is
a very broad term. Reptiles in general are secretive and sometimes nervous.
Reptiles, with correct handling however, can learn to relise that we are not
a threat and therefore with time can become tame enough to be handled and
comfortable enough not to be threatened. Hope this helps with your debate.

Kind Regards
