Evolutionists claim that tyrannosaurs may have had feather precursors [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrannosaurus_rex#Feathers]. However, fossils do not show feathers but merely pebbly skin impressions, which are typical of other dinosaurs. Feathers would certainly not have benefited the huge tyrannosaurus, any more than it would an elephant or a hippopotamus [http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/2007/04/13/t-rex-big-chicken]. Tyrannosaurs probably had a thick subcutaneous layer, which would insulate them during cold times. Also, since the tyrannosaurus probably lived in a tropical climate, it wouldn't need insulation.
