      Yeah, when science got around to it I felt very lied to - what delights we missed out on so many years of bad birb pop culture.
      I mean ofc they were feathered to some extent, we just had to guess a lot of data over the decades.

      Also, if cat-like predators can be cool (which they are), then so would be feathered dino movies.

      Just install big cat software on a cassowary hardware modded for hunt.

    Plus they were much smaller than depicted in movies. They are estimated to have weighed about 15 kg and were about 2m long, but over half of that was tail. A Border Collie has about the same body length and a much thicker build.

    They were long, skinny murder turkeys.

        Good question. Slender is a better term. Their skeletal structure is horizontally compact, more so than a Border Collie. Scientists can estimate musculature based on the size and shape of attachment points, but it’s all speculative.

    I have a pet parrot. If that little 10oz, 8” motherfucker was my size we would all be fucked. Even at his size he can do damage, and when he’s mad he’s vicious. I’ve seen chickens fight each other or go after a bug. Those fuckers are dinosaurs.

      Personally for me having the comfort of modern life beats getting to live with dinosaurs, but no judgement.

        You wouldn’t miss what you never knew. The comfort of modern life creates more problems for every one that it solves.
