Headline Muse, 9/15


With a range of them all found together
The question’s now “how?” and not “whether”
And at last, you and I know
Our favorite dino
Was covered in pigmented feather!

    You can paint them with feather designs! Remember to include countershading, which seems almost universal. Banding and mottling also probably came in early.
