Researchers in Canada have discovered dinosaur feathers perfectly preserved in amber, suggesting that many species of dinosaur may have been covered in rich plumage. Researchers say the discovery will help them understand how feathers evolved into the wide variety found on modern birds. Here's Pallab Ghosh.
加拿大研究人员在琥珀中发现了保存完好的恐龙羽毛,这表明,恐龙中的许多品种可能是周身覆盖着大量羽毛的。研究人员表示,该发现将帮助他们理解恐龙羽毛怎样进化成现代鸟类丰富的羽毛的。Pallab Ghosh报道。
The popular view of meat-eating dinosaurs is that they were big, fearsome and scaly, but there's been growing fossil evidence that many of them were feathery, and now researchers have obtained actual dinosaur feathers frozen in amber. They are of dinosaurs living 70 to 85 million years ago. The feathers are incredibly well preserved. Scientists can see details of their structure even their colours. Many of the feathers seem to be small, brown and fluffy - probably for warmth rather than flight.
