The dinosaurs were killed and interred quickly, and their soft tissues were locked in place. Many of these dinosaur skeletons are covered in feathers, including two tyrannosaurs – close cousins of T. rex –called Yutyrannus andDilong. This means that the ancestors of T. rex had feathers, which means T. rex probably did too.

Basically, there have been a few arguments going around that T-Rex was completely scaly, like a featherless chicken because of its size and the heat of its environment. In addition, the feathered tyrannosauroid, Yutyrannus lived far before T-Rex and might not have been as closely related to T-Rex as once thought.
Mar 15, 2019 · Scientists have also concluded that the adult T. rex was not just covered in scales, but also had a mullet of feathers on its head, neck, and tail. Paleontologists have found that the majority of T. rex hatchlings did not survive, and infants had at least a 60 percent chance of being killed as a result of starvation, disease, or predators.
Jun 6, 2017 · They examined the world's only known fossils of T. rex skin—from the neck, pelvis, and tail of a long-dead dino named Wyrex, stored since 2006 at the Houston Museum of Natural Science in Texas (above). They found no sign of feathers; just smooth, scaly skin. They also analyzed skin impressions from large tyrannosaurs that lived around the ...
Mar 12, 2019 · Over the last 30 years, though, new fossils and techniques have allowed scientists to compare T. rex to their living relatives—modern birds in particular—to reimagine what this apex predator looked like, how its brain functioned, and even how it moved. The exhibit, which follows the evolution of the tyrannosaur family, reveals many of these ...
