I like t-rex's becaus ethey look cool with big heads and little hands!!!!!!



<3 Abbey <3

A, Owen said...

I had never thought a T-rex could have had fethers, how would have known.Well not me of corse I thought they just had scales not fethers

A, Owen said...

I didn't know Jurasic Park was based on real facts besides what they looked like.

Buelterman,Abbey said...

I agree with owen I didn't know t-rex's had feathers!!!!

Mrs. Martz said...

I love T-Rex. I just wonder if there has ever been a stranger creature? Those big heads and small arms make him seem unlikely. It is really interesting the way life is so diverse and beautiful on our planet. Well I would not call T-Rex beautiful, but you know what I mean

oleary stephanie said...

i think t-rex's are cool because they are very old and they dont exist today

kiphart,shane said...

I cant beleive that they found t-ex skin and tisho i find it very fasinating that t-rex might have had feathers

Anonymous said...

i cant belive they found trex tissue and that now theres a therory that the t rex could have had feathers thats amazing. Well i guess we would have never known well we all think they look the way artist draw them well bye billy mays lives on OXI CLEAN!!

anonymous said...

T-rex's, feathers, wait WHAT?!?
i thought t-rex's where big and mean npot chicken like, i never thought a t-rex would have feathers i thought it was just scales

Royer Rachel said...

I think the T-Rex will not be able to live today because one thing if they were able to live they would be experimented in science labs and be watched carefully they would not be able to roam around freely which all animals need.I was thinking how in the world could a T-Rex could have such a huge head with small arms and then might even have feathers!I think the T-Rex is the most unique dinosaur there ever was.

PAPATHANAS,ANTHONY said...

T-rex's are very cool and yes I think that they would be able to survie in todays world. Because the air would be find there would be enough meat for them to live and theres probably enough lakes and ponds for them to drink out of to live from. I also did not know that Jurrasic park T-rex was based on how it looked. Also I saw a document on discovery about the dinosaurse they were talking how after so long of evolution they satrted to grow feathers not to fly those. They also talked about the astroid that hit earth and how it destroyed the dinosaures it was just a big chain reaction. The plants died so then the plant eaters died then sense they died the carnivores (like the T-rex) started to die from starvation.

Anonymous said...

yea i agree with owen they could have feathers and how would we know. i guess we couldnt until we have more info

Evan Triplett said...

I think that T rex is cool but I hate not knowing what they would be like in real life today

Kilgore, Sydney said...

I never new T rex had feathers. It is amazing that have found tissue and skin of a T rex sice it ghas been so long. That just shiows that we still have a lot to discover in the future.

Madison Schnell said...

I realy like the T-rex's, I think they are really interesting and fun to learn about and look at. Its weird that the T-Rex had a big head, and a big body, but tiny tiny arms; its differnt. I am happy that so many scientists have found more and more reasearch about the big T-Rex, because I really like to learn about the dinosaurs. I think a T-Rex could live today, but I would deffinetly be scared of it. I think it could live because there is tons of open land somewhere that it can roam, or it could be held in a huge zoo place, you never know, if scientists can bring it back to life, I think it could live

Wall, Alexandra said...

I do not think that a T-Rex would be able to live now, like it did 10,000+ years ago. If a T-Rex was created or found, then it would be used in labs, and would not be allowed to roam around, because it might eat people whole for all I know... T-Rexes are a very popular animal, so if anything majorly important was to happen then the word would get around fast, like really really fast!!

kaleb.quinlan said...

a t rex would be crazy if it were still alive

kiphart,shane said...

i agree it is cool a t-rexso big and its little hands

Madison Schnell said...

I agree with you Sydney, it's weird that a T-Rex has feathers, I always thought they has scales or something.

Royer Rachel said...

To Ethan:
Ethan T-Rex's were mean and big but they were nowhere close to a chicken even though some of the T-Rex might of had feathers.I think that there is a possiblity that some of them DID had feathers but nothing like a chicken at all.

I did not know that there was more than a one T-rex spieces and they found 6 in one year thats crazy and whats up with T-rex's always being the bad guy well sure they kill things to live but im sure somewhere deep inside they dont mean it.
Adam Lyons

kaleb.quinlan said...

i do think that a t rex could live bacause there plenty of food for it to eat and there is enough land

Kilgore, Sydney said...

I agree with the Rachel about tbem not having enough room for bringing back the T rex. I read about a month ago that scientist found dna of the mammoth and were going try to bring it back but i dont think this is a very good idea because we do not have the type of environment they use to live in anymore or the space.

Wall, Alexandra said...

To Sydney... I agree with your post! I didn't know that they had feathers either, I thought they had scales!! Could they fly?? and do u think that they could live or earth now??

Anonymous said...

I like the T-rex. I think they would be able to survive in todays world because it`s the same air and there is still food that they can eat.

kaleb.quinlan said...

Do you think the t rex was a hunter or scavenger

Anonymous said...

I agree with Evan I hate not knowing how they would be in life today.

anonymous said...

i agree with eathon trex shouldnt have feathers they should have scales. They couldnt survive now because of harsh winters.

Sean Laake said...

I dont think the T-Rex would have survived,because when the eath got cold,the ice age, T-Rex would have to have grown fur and blubber to hold its heat, 9 out of 10 lizards were extinct so it would be nearly impossible for them to surive but there are still dinosaurs, they're birds now, the last survivors. I also need to agree with Abbey, this is a remarkable discovery that no one has known before.

Park Deborah said...

i never knew that T-Rex would have feathers...I always thought that if an animal have feathers they were a bird but i guess not. Well but i still want to learn about this new feathered dinosaur.

Sheridan,Megan said...

I think the T-rex is really cool. I never knew they had feathers! I think its weird and neat at the same time that the T-rex had a big body and a big head but tiny arms, I think thats a little different. I dont think that they could live today because they would be used for so much research and they would not be able to be free like alot of animals. They would probably go crazy.

kaleb.quinlan said...

I think is was a scavenger because its little arms seem unlikely to help it kill

keisersydney said...

its really interesting to know that the t rex had feathers, i never knew that, i thought they just had scales

anonymous said...

Ethan i know what you mean i never thought that T-rex's could have feathers.I thought they always had scales.

Sheridan,Megan said...

I agree with you rachel on how you said that the animals need to roam around freely but would not be able to because they would be used in so much research.

Sydney, I think it's amazing too that they have found tissue and skin of a T-Rex bacause it has been so long!

George McFarren said...

I never thought anything more of the dinosaour who ate people. It's kinda cool when you think about the science part ecpecially because they could be related to some kind of bird because we now know they have feathers.

Madison Schnell said...

I agree with Sydney and Megan! It's been billions and billions of years, and I can't believe that they found tissue, and skin! It makes me want to learn about dinosaours more!

Park Deborah said...

Megan, Madison& Sydney
I would think that by now the tissue and skins of the T-Rex would be gone or turned into dirt but i guess not and that makes me wonder if scientist could experiment on the tissue and skin to make a dinosaur. But if they do wouldn't it be chaos?

batmanstake said...

why study t rexes the most when theres a lot more dinosoars to study. ive never heard of the smaller dinosoar

George McFarren said...

I agree with Madison because I think a T-Rex could live today too because someone could have it as a pet and it could eat deer or something like that.

ciARRa said...

i think that is so cool that t-rexes might have had fethers but i am kinda glad they have extinct because i would not wat a huge t-rex or any other dinosour roming around town unless they were trained orsomething so thier not mean

anonymous said...

I think t rexes are awesome because its so weid that they have a ginormus head and hands the size of humans hands.I would love to learn about dinosaurs especially the t rex and i think they could live in the world somewhere.

anonymous said...

the t rex has feathers!! and i would agree with adam i thought it would have scales.

Breadon,Zac said...

i agree with mrs. martz i love the t-rex its my favorite dinosuar and there were probrably alot stranger creatures and thats just on land imagine how many creatures lived in the sea or lake

Jordan,M,Malsbary said...

A T rex would be a cool animal to have around today.The only problems would be that who will it eat when it gets hungry and how many houses will it destory.T rexs are awsome even know they have big heads,little arms,and a long tail to balence its body well.

Francis,Jarod said...

ever since i was a kid I loved dinosaurs and my favorite was t-rex. I think it could survive but it would have to eat like 10 people a meal, if they could roam freely . T-Rex was and still is the ultimate preadator. I think t -rex was born with feathers and lost them when they matured. In jurrasic Park the t-rex only was fed a goat. Tha might not even be a snack for a 49' killing machine.

Brady Farmer said...

I don't think a t-rex can be alive today because they ruled the earth 125 million years ago and plus the meteor wiped them all out.I don't think a t-rex has feathers because if they had feathers they could fly.

Jordan,M,Malsbary said...

I agree with Ethan I also thought T rexs were reptiles not bird like.

anonymous said...

I think T-rexs are cool in so many ways. I had no idea they had feahers i thought they had scales.i dont think it would be a good idea to have T-rexs come back on earth.We dont have anough room for all of them back here.plus they were not nice dinosaours they were mean and it would not be good to have them back on earth.T-rexs are very cool they have a big head and a big body but then tiny arms.


Kailey Carter

Francis,Jarod said...

George I'm not calling you out or something but someone having a T-Rex for a pet would be catastrophic. For one a fully grown T-Rex is 49' long and over 20' tall.

anonymous said...

Since when did T-rex have feathers?! I mean like where did they come from? What part of the body? Because in about every picture I have seen I have only seen them in scales, never feathers.

-Corissa Sturm,(:

KAM said...

Feathers?!?!? What in the world! I didnt know they have feathers....I've seen the movie Jurassic Park it didnt seem as if the T-Rex had feathers! And I dont think that if the T- Rex still lived on today...well I dont know how well that would work out...but I believe that they would be tested just as much as any other animal...I think that most people are more interested in the animal because it's exctict... if it was still living people might be just as interested in any other animal.

McGinnis,Ben said...

WHAT? A T-Rex its a dinosaur not a bird why would it have feathers. I found that weird what would if have feathers for? I dont think a T-Rex could survive to day with small arms and it being so big if it fell it could not get up.

anonymous said...

i think we should hold the reasearch of the t rex and look more into diffrent dinnosaures. so we can find more simularities with humans. we should also reasearch dna tests to find out if we could ever bring a dino back to life and obsirve their behavural problems.\

jr miller

McGinnis,Ben said...

kaleb i think a T-Rex was a hunter they have huge teeth for riping up meat

Ryan, Marissa said...

I dont get how a dinosaur could have feathers! That's just not right! I cant believe they could have had feathers, that's sooooo weird! But I dont believe for one second that T. rex could live today. They've been extinct for so long, i just dont think that that would ever, EVER happen. To bring T. rex back wouldnt they have to do science experiments with T. rex DNA and stuff? Well if so, i dont think thats -in anyway- possible. I think T. rex are very interesting but not interesting enough to want them back of course! Its crazy that they can gain up to 5 pounds a day! No wonder they were so big! I thought that Jurassic Park was pretty much all guesses about dinosaurs. I had no idea they based it on real information! Reading the article makes me want to watch it again and pay more attention to the T rex.

valerierenee7 said...

I can't believe that t-rex's have fethers. That i cant believe. I also like t-rex's because they have the little arms wit there big heads and body!

anonymous said...

its been thousands of years and we just now find feathers and the reamains of some tissue, but the sad and happy thing is i will never get to see one because its not sophisticated enough though to have avoided extinction. Thankfully

anonymous said...

I think the T-Rex would look weird if they had feathers.I`ve only seen them with scales no feathers.I like the T-Rex because it had small arms and a big head.

David Meiners

anonymous said...

I think that T-rex is probably one of my favorite dinosaurs. I just wonder why it has such tiny arms. If it can't have longer arms, why have arms at all? Even if it fell and tried to get up using it's arms, it wouldn't help.
Posted by Sam Tendam

anonymous said...

Ben i agree with you that a T-Rex couldn`t survive today if it fell.
David Mienrs

anonymous said...

EWWWWWWWW!!! that's so weird that they have big heads and little arms. I never knew they had feathers they are such birrair creatures. Also i think a t-rex could live because its possible that like jarrasic park they can find DNA it would bring them back.that would be so cool though!

Kelly Rogers

Ryan, Marissa said...

Jr, i agree about seeing if there are any similarities from dinosaurs to humans but i dont think we should do DNA test with them because i dont think many people would want to encourage scientists to try to bring dinosaurs back to life, that would be pure chaos!

anonymous said...

I somewhat agree with Owen. I knew that birds evolved from dinosaurs like T-rex, but I never knew if they had feathers or if they just came up through evolution.
Posted by Sam Tendam

Breadon,Zac said...

i wonder if anyone has found a t-rex feather

anonymous said...

Marissa,
I know what you mean! I think it would be a pretty bad idea to bring them back! I mean I know you could train them and everything but you never know, they could go out of control at anytime!

-Corissa Sturm,(:

Oakes, Ally said...

I have always thought that a T rex was an interesting topic. I like them because they are so huge and they have the smallest little arms it's awesome!

Abby Bacher said...

I think it's cool that those paleontologists found t-rex remains. Like that guy said, I would also love to see a t-rex hunting another dinosaur, since they're carnivores.

anonymous said...

I don't think T-Rex could survive today because my guess is they need lots of open spaces and large pray. I doubt that there are many spaces big enough in the USA for a T-Rex to survive in the wild and i don't think people will want them in wild life refuges because they would eat the wild life!Farmers won't want the T-Rex eating the cows and sheep, so people will invent wepons to kill them.

Sheehan, Candi

freel,amanda said...

No, because they went extinct because of the humans. I think T-Rex's are okay, but I like all of the dinosaurs. All, of the dinosaurs went extinct because of us/ humans!!!!

Weren't T-Rexes like the biggest dinosaurs of all time? I can't believe they possibly found soft tissue. That's just amazing.

- Emily Heckman

Anonymous said...

T-Rex's are scary looking! And I don't think it could survive in today's world. Because it is a carnivore (eats meat) it would probabl try to eat people.... So even if the T-Rex /could/ survive today, I wouldn't want it to!!

anonymous said...

Yes Abbey You Got That From "Meet The Robisons". Good Movie. Anyway The T-Rex Has Always Been That Dinosuar That Catches My Eye. They Are So BIG!!!!!!!! In Fact Gigantic They Are Carnivores And They Do Have Really LITTLE Hands.

Did you know that because T -Rex's have such small arms if they fall on their back they are doomed for life because they can't reach the ground to lift them selves back up

Sara said...

Although it would be cool to see the color and size of a t rex I would never wast yo see one in person. T rex might survive today but only if there is blood of one and i REALLY dont think and chance of having one exist is possible, but who knows, there is a chance.

Hutson,Caleb said...

the t-rex is one of the coolest dinosaurs there were.i dont think it would be able to survive in our would now because of the lack of food for the t-rex.

Sara said...

Commenting on Sydney, feathers? I always thouht they were like snake skin.

Emily Renee Heckman :) said...

I agree with Emma Ciffe. If the t rex was still alive, it would eat us and anything meaty in it's path. We're spared that all of the dinosaurs are extinct. Though if they were still alive today, we could learn more about how dinosaurs were like.

-Emily Heckman

anonymous said...

wow i only thought that there was only one species of t-rex i just thought there was oly one and that was it but they just found 6 more i would love to research more about it

-Dylan Humbert

freel,amanda said...

Commenting on Sara Dirr's:
I agree with you Sara when did T-Rex's have feathers. Their not birds, or are they??? Well, it's probably another question to learn about???

Duebber, Jenna said...

T-Rex crack me up! I think it's so funny that they have little hands and arms and a big body. But, they are very cool. I had no clue they had feathers, I thought they just had scales! I don't think T-Rex would be able to live today because all of the scientists would be so interested that they would all be put in labs and studied. Also, I think they would be to big. I mean, just imagine the huge dinosaur with little people.

anonymous said...

when i was little a t rex was my favorite dinosaure. i think it would be kind of cool if theycould live today but they woud reck every thing

i dont think t-rex could live today theres alot of food but no where to live there for they would die off. i dont like t-rexs that much they are huge and they eat other animals they are mean

i agree with adam i did not know their were diferent types of t rexes

i alos think that t-rex's are so cool abby because it is so wierd how there heads are so big and there arms are like toooth picks

-Dylan Humbert

Fairbanks,Joey said...

I think that the T-rex is the coolest ever. I do think that the T-rex would survive because there is alot of pray for it to feed on.

Kylie Hayes said...

I dont think a t-rex would survive today, this is because the animal doesnt have a source of food like they did back then. Also, we wouldn't have a habit for these giant animals. Not to mention, a
t-rex is a huge animal, if it were to go on a ram page we would all die. Either way it would be a bad idea to recreate or bring life back to a t-rex.

anonymous said...

trex's are so big but thier arm's are so small what's up with that. I also think Trex's look cool and weired at the same time

Ryan Bussard

anonymous said...

I think A T-Rex would not be able to survive because the envierment has changed, source of food has changed, and the land has changed. So it would be hard for a T-Rex to suvive in the world today.

really owen Trex's have feathers where did you learn that.

gorman,kyle said...

I never knew that t rex had feathers all I thought was that they had scales. It would be crazy if they lived today.

Xavier Frisch said...

I dont think the T-Rex could survive today because it didn't survive back then, and back then it had a larger food source.

noah hartman said...

i did not no u were intrested in T-Rex Mrs.Martz I for one am not but they are strange creatures

noah hartman said...

yes Owen appiarius i did not thinnk T-Rex had feathers so strange

imushrush said...

I did not know that t-rex had feathers thats epic. I can`t wait to learn more about the badest dino of them all.

Giblin, Keegan said...

If a Tryanosaurous Rex lived today, life in that area would be lucky to survive a week tops. Then it move around and kill and eat anything that is meat within a 1 mile radius. I belive that the T-Rex should be considered a prehisoric wonder of the world. What else eats only meat and stands over 20 feet tall?

anonymous said...

Hey mrs.martz i think t-rexs are cool.I think they are cool because of how long ago they lived.But i dont understand how in movies they know how they look.Nathan Stenger

cade harvey said...

The t-rex does fasanate me but I would prefer another specamin because every one spends to much time on them because there populer.I don't believe a t-rex could survive because of the wepens we would use on them.

Jenn Davis said...

I think that T-Rex are interesting creatures. I would never have thought that they might have feathers and that the could even (mabye) find flesh and tissue.

Jennifer20107 said...

I think T-rex's are cool, and I would like to learn about dinosurs, I want to know what life was like back then with dinosaurs, and if there were even people then.

anonymous said...

Im glad that we dont have to be with dinasours because i would be afraid to get killed but i do think that it would be cool to see them with big heads and small hands.

dace,connor said...

I don't think that the T-rex could servive in the modern world. I have wondered if the T-rex would either eat us all or that it would become a herbavoir based on it's surroundings.

Ryan Weber said...

T rex could not survive today because, theres not enough animals for it to devour. I know theres alot of animals but I mean look at the stomach.

Buis,Dylan said...

i never knew that it was real i just that what they looked like i didnt know they ate people. FEATHERS where did they come from wow.

anonymous said...

im glad that we dont live with dinasours anymore because i would be afraid to get killed but i do think it would be cool because they have big heads and small arms kristan dalton

Kamilah Williams said...

i don't think t-rex would come back i mean it is from the past and we wounldn't want to bring any thing from the past to the present i just would make the the future a different place. It like bringing the died back now that would be sar

Bettner,Aaron said...

The T rex could not survive today because it would not have its usual pray and we would have to kill it because it would be attacking everyone. T rex is awesome because they are awsome predators and they look funny becuase they are huge and have small arms.

anonymous said...

I thik that this article is realy cool. I cant bekieve there are 6 kinds of t rexes. When i was a kid I used to love t rexes so yhis is realy cool. This was one of my favorite article yet.
Nick Aichele

Mariah Smith said...

The T-Rex is most certainly famous. Like the article mentioned, the T-Rex is by far the most popular dinosaur. Perhaps it's so famous because it's one of the deadliest creatures to ever walk the earth. I, however, do not believe that the T-Rex had feathers. HOW in the WORLD was that huge, man-eating terror "evolve" into a small, harmless, bug-eating bird? It goes against logic and my beliefs. I'd love to see the day when scientists get proof that the T-Rex is our modern-day bird.

anonymous said...

To be honest I don't think a T rex would be able to survive now because there isn't enough food to feed the dinasour daily. Also the climate may be to hot or cold for the animal. I think a T rex is an awesome creature but I would never want to see in real life.
-Kaleigh McCarthy

Jedding, Lyd said...

I never knew t-rex's have feathers I could of sworn they just had scales!

I agree with Owen, I didn't know Jurasic park was based on real facts! I wonder what any dinosaur looked like in real life because the was nobody there to discover what they look!!


I wonder what it would be like to be a T-rex for a day with there big legs and there small arm! I wonder how they get there stuff to eat and how they get there stuff that they killed to eat!

anonymous said...

I don't think a T-rex would be able to live in today weather changes. I think T-rex is a cool abrevation .The thing I wonder about is if god made them to have big heads and little arms.
Andrew Hudson

anonymous said...

I agree with Abbey and Owen about T-rex's had feathers instead of scales .
Andrew Hudson

Bass,Zoey said...

i would think that a tyranasaurus rex woulen't survive today because i think that it woulden't be used to all its new surroundings. Also, i think its interesting that scientists found feathers of the t-rex. i personally think it would scare alot of people ( including me) is i saw a giant dinasaur running through the streets.

Mrs. Martz said...

To Marissa and others, I think that you are correct about bringing dinosaurs back. There is a great line in Jurassic Park. "You spent so much thinking about how to bring the dinosaurs back that you never thought if you should" They would not be adapted to the environment and would not be immune to modern diseases

klingelhoffer,sawyer said...

i never knew t-rex had feathers thats coooool.i like how they found tissue in the skin of the t-rex.

Hutson,Caleb said...

I'm with Ethan Mercurio i had no idea that a t-rex had feathers i am amazid by that.

t-rexes would probly not live today unless we sigh a peace tredy with them or they would eat us all with the brain the size of a penut and four inch arms they still got temper

Gillian said...

I agree with Abby and Owen why fethers I thought they're skin woule be like snakes.T-rex look cool I think be cool if they were tamed and we could have them as pets.

made by:Gillian Melugin

Jedding, Lyd said...

I agree with you kaleigh and anyways where would they live! What would they eat? There is not enough food for the dinosuars!

cade harvey said...

Dear Abby, you might like them for there looks but if you were to reasearch one they would scare you because they look different in cartoons.

cade harvey said...

Dear Owen, you could kind of say that your prediction is correct because not all t-rexes had feathers just some.

cade harvey said...

dear mrs.Martz, I agree with you it is very fasanating info about the T-rex and I bet there are many other creaturs realated to this fasanating creature, and many other's hiden under the ground.

anonymous said...

I am really fasinated that the scientists discovered that there might be at least 6 spicies of t-rexes. I alway thought there was only 1 type of t-rex, it is also cool that 1 might even have feathers. You learn something new every day. The T-rex has always been my favorite type of dinosaur. I would love to learn more about that.

- Michael Van Schoik

anonymous said...

Mrs. martz I agree with that. It so strange thinking about all the different creatures that lived on earth. I also agree with Anthony and Kaleb, I do think a T-rex could survive in todays world, because there is plenty of food.

- Michael Van Schoik

Duebber, Jenna said...

Also, I didn't know there were different species. It's amazing what scientists can find out with such little resources.

PAPATHANAS,ANTHONY said...

They didnt have big hands because they were fast runners thats why.

Reichling,Alex said...

i wish that i could have a T-Rex as a pet if it was tame. I think i would choose to ride it around than ride in a car. I like how Everything is huge exept for their tiny little hands.

Kilgore, Sydney said...

I do not think that a T-Rex would be able to live now because the environment had changed. If a T-Rex was created i dont know where they would put it maybe they would just use it in labs to study the past. And since it said they found T Rex feathers do you think the could fly? I didnt think this would be possible since there very large but you never know.

anonymous said...

i dont really look into dinosaurs that much but this story had some really good sound effects about dinosaurs david holbrook

Hailey Hoover said...

i think that it's weird that they found t-rex feathers i had no idea they could even have feathers. i dont think they could survive today in our modern life style.

Cecil,Tommy said...

I cant think of how thing would change if these things stil were alive. I had no idea they have feathers though.

commenting on Jenna Duebber. i agree i didnt know that there were other species of t-rex. They just seemed very different from everthing else that there couldnt be any other types of that animal.

I agree with owen because i would have never thought that a T-Rex could have feathers. I think it would look a little acward next to a T-Rex without feathers.

i agree with owen its weird that some t rexs have feather By Ted young.

I aggree, I do not think a t-rex could live in our enviorment because it has changed alot. It used to be all Trees and now its basiclly all city! If they lived here many people would be affected. It would have no where to go especially because of its size and it's viciousness. I didnt know that they had feathers either but i dont think they would be able to fly, that would be cool though!

:) Jaspers, Abby (: said...

Reply to Alex: I dont think it would be possible to ride on it or keep it as a pet because it would be way to big to keep in a house. But i do aggre that would be pretty cool to ride on! If that is possible though.

Granger,Hannah said...

wow thats cool i never would of thoght that a t-rex would hane feathers thats weird. Itheoght they just had like...rough skin

anonymous said...

i think that the t-rex intresting dinosaurs although i wouldn't want to encounter one concidering the six inch long teeth that fill its mouth i think is big enough to swallow a human whole. i would like to see what color a t-rex is and what their feathers looked like, if they were down feathers to keep them warm or if they were for keeping water off or just for show. i think it would be awsome to find a T-rex fossil even if it was just a fragment of a bone it would be awsome.

i hope that since they found t-rex skin they're not planing on trying to axcually creat a living, breathing, T-rex because it would be scary to see a t-rex walking down the street.

i think it is pretty weird that there are differnt types of t rex and some have feathers thats kindof weird

Anonymous said...

no the t rex wouldnt last in our country not even for a whole week cause they are so big......if they had feathers then couldnt they fly?
they first found the skull i didnt think it was that big of a deal.

i luv jurastic park its one of my fav movies
(the headphones work just fine) thanks

anonymous said...

T REXS are so cool that they have big bodies and big heads and they have little fingerds and hands amd that some of them have fethers like a bird

Ethan I though the same thing, about T-rexes having scales inted of feathers. This changes my perspetive of what it looks like, how large it was, and what it feed on for food. This is a very interesting sobject to taalk about.

I think a t-rex would be awesome but very scary!Those things would eat you alive in 2 seconds! That would be awesome if they were domesticated.

Duebber, Jenna said...

@ Sydney Kilgore:
I totally agree that we don't have the type of environment to bring them back. I remember seeing a show on the discovery channel about bringing back the sabertooth tiger. I think that would be stupid because there would be a lot of deaths and we just don't need huge deathly animals running around. It would also be bad for the animals.

Jenn Davis said...

@ Katy Nortman
I agree that it is odd that they could have wings and don't fly. Mabye they weighed too much to be able to fly. Or mabye they were like penguins because they have feathers but can't fly.

Dorrington, Madison said...

I was just wondering if they did bring back the T-Rex where would they stay and how much food would they eat?????
Would it even be safe if there were dinosaurs around now?

Dorrington, Madison said...

I agree with Sara if there is no hard core fresh evidence I dont think it would be possible to even experiment on a "new" T-Rex.

Dickerson,Daniel said...

I do not think the T-Rex could survive today. This is because humans would be frightend and kill them. The only living ones would live in captivity and be experimented on. So basically they would be icstint in the wild. I think the T-Rex is cool. I thought they had scales, not feathers. I think they are the best dinosaurs,

Freeman Andrew said...

I always found the T-Rex very interesting because of how it could hunt with those tiny arms and huge head. Also I would never think that the T-Rex could have feathers. In my opinion I think the T -Rex wouldn't be able to survive today because their food source wuld be extinct.

Freeman Andrew said...

To Alex Reichling:
I agree with you 100 percent that it would be awesome to have a tamed T-Rex for a pet. But I don't know if I would want to ride it that would be so werid and scary because wonder if you fall off.

cade harvey said...

Dear Alex, It would be cool to have a pet trex, but could be a HUGE!!!risk because even if you could somewhat tame him he would still be deadly by its nature.

coors amber said...

no. there are not enough room for them today. we would have to create a locked up area for them so when they romed around,they would not crush us.
i think t-rex are cool and fun to learn about their history and how our earth was in the past but if they were on the face of the earth today, i would be terrified they would comeand squash me

coors amber said...

i agree with you abbey buelterman!!! they do look funny with big heads and little arms!!!

and i agree with you stephanie oleary! i think it is cool that they did once exist on our earth and now dont. i also think it is cool to know that something that big was once on what is our home today!!!!

anonymous said...

To Mrs. Martz's,
I totally agree, I think they are a wonderful site too see ! I would love to see one, but then again I wouldn't..Haha but it IS weird how they have small arms and a huge head, it actually does make them unlikely.

Sean Laake said...

Deborah, there have been a lot of dino's with feathers,such as the Velociraptor, but they could not fly. So if dinosaurs can fly with feathers, they still need wings, so the evolution dino plan failed right there if they tried to fly.

Anonymous said...

@ andrew: I didn't know T-Rexes had feathers either! In pictures and stuff they're always scaley. But how would scientists know what color the skin is and how do they even know that they had feathers? I want some proof!

anonymous said...

t-rex's are awesome but sieriously i cant take them serious when they have those little arms and big heads :P

I think the T rex is very cool.I belive that the t rex would not be able to survive in the world today.The reason why is they would not be able to run freely and animals need to also they would eat all of the animals and humans then every thing would be extincted.IT would be better if they where like dog size that would be awesome.

anonymous said...

I thin the T rex is awesome.It would be awesome if the t rex could survive today but i dont belive it could.I belive that the t rex couldnt survive today because the t rex needs to run freely and there is no where for it to run freely also it would eat all of the animals the they would become extincted.

I agree with you rachel.I was wondering the same thing how could they survive with no room to run anywhere. Jordan harbour

Jennifer20107 said...

@ Deborah I think it's kind of strang to for a dinosaur to hsve feathers I thought they only had scales.

anonymous said...

To: Kelly Rogers

I think it would be really cool to see a live dinasour, for example a T-rex. I would have to agree with you about how they look funny with their giant bodies, but small arms. In the movie how the scientists bring all of the dinasours back to life makes the story more interesting, but I don't think they could in real life. Even if they could I don't think they would because everything goes extinct for a reason.

i like t-rex`s because they are old and they were the most domanint dinosaur of their time.

i disagree with jordan malsbary because if we had a t-rex in this time peroid it would be a terrible thing
