what’s a sinosauropteryx?
Day by Day January 28th, 2010I can’t believe you don’t really know.
It’s a carnivorous dinosaur that lived in China. But that’s not the news. It’s actually the first dinosaur that they can actually prove the true colour. And it ain’t lizard green! They found tiny amounts of pigment in the feathers (you did know some dinosaurs had feathers right?) and the colour is “ginger” (according to CNN International)
I call it orange, but I’ve been told that men don’t have any clue about colours.
If you’re interested, go to the National Geographic web site to find out more ( http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2010/01/100127-dinosaur-feathers-colors-nature/)
And yeah, even though I’m an old geezer, I’m still fascinated by dinosaurs…
