Submission + - A fluffy feathered poodle from hell: a new Jurassic raptor. (nzherald.co.nz)

turkeydance writes: "This new dinosaur is one of the closest cousins of Velociraptor, but it looks just like a bird," study co-author Steve Brusatte of the University of Edinburgh's School of GeoSciences said in a statement.

"It's a dinosaur with huge wings made up of quill pen feathers, just like an eagle or a vulture. The movies have it wrong — this is what Velociraptor would have looked like too."

He dubbed it a "fluffy feathered poodle from hell".
