did veloceraptor have feathers or not?

Answer 1

They might have had feathers. Remember how birds evolved from dinosaurs. Veloceraptors were very similiar to birds.

Answer 2

Yes!

It is most likely that did have feathers.

Whether Velociraptor was a bird or a dinosaur depends on the definition being used. Phylogenetically, all members of the clade Aves are dinosaurs. However, in Linnean taxonomy and common terminology, a "bird" is not just a member of Aves but any animal with feathers. Under the latter definition, Velociraptor and all maniraptoran dinosaurs are actually birds, since feather-bearing animals are known from every maniraptoran group. Recently, fossils of dromaeosaurids more primitive than Velociraptor have been found in China, with feathers covering their bodies and fully-developed, feathered wings. In light of this, it is most likely that Velociraptor bore feathers too, since even flightless birds today retain most of their feathers. While there is, as yet, no fossil evidence to confirm that Velociraptor had feathers, there is no reason to suspect it of being an exception

Answer 3

It is possible that some theropods had feathers, fossils have been found which seem to support this however recently this has been debunked as it has been suggested that the 'feathers' are actually tendons. There is also the problem of how and why the feathers evolved, what advantage would fluffy scales be? In terms of insulation they are effective until they get wet, at which point they are useless, the jury is still out. Try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feathered_dinosaur#Primitive_feather_types

Answer 4

I've heard somewhere that fossilized eggs believed to be from Veloceraptor's have shown feathered embryos. Whether they retained these feathers into adulthood is still a mystery.

Answer 5

Veloceraptors were far to cool to look like chickens, that's the facts

Answer 6

Unfortunately, we have no firm evidence of this. Certainly no velociraptor fossils have ever been found with feather imprints.

However, many people like to speculate on this as other related theropod dinosaurs are known to have had feathers, and of course all birds themselves are believed to have evolved from theropod dinosaur ancestors - the group which includes velociraptors.

Answer 7

i really and truly do believe that the voloceraptor did not have any feathers there are known for using stealth to hunt there pray so having feather would be a disadvantage when it comes to hunting .

Answer 8

Such an interesting question!! I have no idea whether they had feathers. It would take a paleontologist to get a clear theory on this one--which I'm not.
Velociraptors are fascinating, aren't they, though? Having been featured in JURASSIC PARK made them even more so!

Answer 9

nobody knows one fossil showed what COULD have been feather quills ( the warm blooded dino guys want this to be true for insulation )

Answer 10

they have feathers some evidence show
