T. rex with varying levels of Feathers coloring pages

 This is my free coloring pages blog.

Today's new drawings are of T. rex.

These are drawings of T. rex with different amounts of feathers.

There are three drawings and it will take a few minutes to post them all.

Featherless T. rex and Chick

Originally no one thought any Tyrannosaur had feathers.  That may have been incorrect.  

Lightly Feathered T. rex with Full-Feathered Chick

Some paleontologists think that juvenile Tyrannosaurs had feathers to keep warm but when adults lost all or most of their feathers.  When young keeping warm is important.  However adult large animals in warm climates have a challenge to keep cool.  So, in this drawing the adult has only limited token feathers.  The juvenile has a full set of proto-feathers or feathers to keep warm.  

Fully Feathered T. rex and Chick

A paleontologist at the University of Utah told me that one day we would find evidence that T. rex had feathers.  So we could imply that all Tyrannosaurs had feathers.  This would include Albertosaurus, Daspletosaurus, etc.  Yutyrannus is a Tyrannosaur from what is now China.  It DID have full feathers.  But all of these drawings are of Tyrannosaurus rex. 

NOTE:  These drawings, in printable form, are found by clicking on the button labeled Paleontology.  Then just scroll down to the bottom of the Mesozoic Life section.  Have fun coloring!
