When we hear the word "feather", we would normally associate it with small- to medium-sized birds; however, that was not the case in the prehistoric era. Some dinosaurs that existed 129 million years ago in present-day Liaoning, northeastern China, were as long as 30 feet with feathers covering their ENTIRE bodies. Among these feathered giants was Yutyrannus huali, meaning the “feathered tyrant”. The specific name consists of the Mandarin “huali” (“beautiful” in English), in reference to the perceived beauty of the plumage.
