Oh for sure, without a doubt. Hell it took forever for people to figure out feathers.

Then again, on rare occasion we do get some cool skin/soft tissue evidence like that Nodosaurus in Canada. Sometimes they're strikingly similar to what we thought (or not?). I am not a paleontologist and I am speaking out of my ass.

That Nodosaurus is super cool though, y'all should see it.

Buckee the beaver

Behold, the common ancestor between the deadly T-Rex and the common beaver. You can tell they’re related due to the tiny arms, upright stance, and fierce demeanor.
