There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
Quite astonishing, then. The first discovered bird-like dinosaur (not the first bird-like dinosaur in existence), Archaeopteryx, had feathers and a bird-like beak, but what about its skin? Did it have softer and moist skin like that of modern birds, or did it have rough and scaly skin like that of dinosaurs?
