Microraptor revisited and April Fowl's Day

Microraptor revisited and April Fowl's Day

We have so many Microraptor specimens we know the color of their feathers, how they molted, what they ate, and much more. Plus a new hypothesis for why the first wings may have evolved. On a lighter note we cover some famous pop-culture dinosaurs: Rodan, Godzillasaurus, Ultimasaurus, and Toronto's Raptor mascot.

Dinosaur of the day Microraptor, a small 4 or 5 winged dinosaur that we first knew from just a tail, but now we even know what it ate.

In dinosaur news this week:

  • Dinosaur feathers were a lot more like bird feathers than we thought
  • Scientists have a new framework for figuring out if a dinosaur could fly
  • A robotic Caudipteryx demonstrated how dinosaurs could have used their “half” wings to startle insects (and eat them)
