Thanks Cybermat47 for posting
No worries mate

I don't think we'll ever know for sure, but according to those more knowlegable in paleontology than myself, it seems possible that all species of non-avian Dinosaurs had feathers in one way or another.



TREY the Explainer has made a rather in-depth video on the subject:



Sadly, some people just ignore the evidence, and claim that science is ruining their childhood, because they grew up with Jurassic Park. I don't recall witnessing a similar reaction to the new revelations about the Spinosaurus, but I'm pretty sure many people stuck their fingers in their ears when that happened.



As an aside, it's known that some, and possibly all Pterosaurs were covered in a hair-like material known as pycnofibres.
