You're quite welcome! Though I'm not a big fan of therapods anymore because, while I know it's possible T-Rexs' and other large therapods may have been both scaly and feathery, but on the other hand...well....it's so dang HARD to imagine a T-Rex looking all fluffy like a sparrow as some paleontologists hypothesize. But the Ceratopsians? Current scientific theories just make them MORE badass.

I understand your opinion on therapods. It can be a little confusing about their texture of skins. But hey, it is a mystery after all. As for me, I would imagine the T-rex looking like a giant golden eagle or a giant terror bird. But honestly, I more used to seeing T-rex as scaly. But then again, everyone has his/her theory and opinion.
For the ceratopsians, I do find the new theories about them extremely interesting, especially how the growth and age of Triceratops works. By the way, on YouTube, I've found this movie documentary about ceratopsians. I believe it's called Adventures of Ceratops and it's separated by two parts. Both play for nearly an hour (depending if ads get in the way (which I despise that happening!)) You should try it if you're interested.

An excellent point on the therapods and the estimations of how feathery they were. I personally am in the camp that the T-Rex was primarily scaly with a few, shall we say, "strategically placed" feathering on its body not only for aesthetic reasons, but also because I believe that, much like elephants and rhinos today, that a T-Rex probably didn't need that much insulation given its sheer size and the climate it lived in.
I agree, but at the same time I'm a bit hesitant on that documentary you mentioned. I prefer my documentaries to be more factual than entertaining, but most I've seen are the reverse.

Thank you! You're very kind. You know, if you really want to see this creature, you could have gone to the Bronx Zoo, at the Bronx, in New York City, and try out the Dinosaur Safari. He would be found at the end of the dino trail, at the dino camp, where the photo spot is.
