Feathered Dinosaurs: Flying Reptiles and Ancient Birds
Paperback
(Dover Publications April 15, 2005)
Did dinosaurs have feathers? Some of them certainly did. Remains of these creatures and of birds and flying reptiles that lived millions of years ago inspired this ready-to-color collection of 30 illustrations. From the turkey-sized Caudipteryx, with its long, flashy, feathered tail, to the Teratornis, a condor with a 12-foot wingspan, this carefully researched collection of feathered dinosaurs will amaze colorists and amateur paleontologists of all ages.Included are finely detailed images of Archaeopteryx, a blue-jay-sized creature that lived 150 million years ago; the Beipiaosaurus, a nine-feet-long lizard with stiff feathers and leaf-shaped teeth; as well as a Velociraptor, Oviraptor, Quetzalcoatlus, and many other ancient animals. Captions describe feathering patterns, incubation periods, and nesting habits.
