Yes, according to Dr. Colin Sumrall, Paleontologist, University of Tennessee, it has now been found that the Tyrannosaurus Rex might have been covered in feathers for at least part of it's life! Paleontologists say that the Rex could have favored a meat-eating chicken more than an alligator or iguana.
