Ever imagine what a T-Rex would like with feathers?

Well imagine no more cuz this is a reality!

Chinese and Canadian scientists and have discovered the Yutyrannus, a early cousin to the Tyrannosaurus. They found fossils of the 1.5 ton adult and two juveniles.

The most fascinating part of the Yutyrannus is

Dinosauars in 3D?!?! Yes, please!

The original Jurassic Park is coming back (and coming at you) in theaters in 2013 in 3D. Steven Spielberg's classic will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2013. (Do you feel old?!)

What's a better to celebrate adding an extra dimension, right?!

The release date is set for July 19th, which will push up sci-fi flick Oblivion. Jurassic Park was also re-released last year with a remastered addition.

Who's ready for some prehistoric adventure, 3D style?!

Sure, you could probably almost start your own Jurassic Park for eight million dollars…but this is safer!

Check out the photo (above) of Stuart Hughes' iPad 2 Gold History Edition, which costs $8 million and includes the following over-the-top features:

This should keep us busy until the Jurassic Park reboot comes out! LOLz.

Check out the photos (above) of Japan's Hotel Jzauruss, which is a "love hotel" that was modeled after Steven Spielberg's epic dinosaur film.

Hopefully they have animatronic dinosaurs in the hotel rooms! What better way to get "in the mood" with that special someone than a close encounter with a life-sized venom-spitting Dilophosaurus?!?!? Ha!

Will U go to Japan's Hotel Jzauruss for your next romantic getaway? Perhaps even your honeymoon?

Is it actually going to happen this time?

Thousands of years ago, reports started up about the possibility of a fourth Jurassic Park film.

There were times where it really looked like it was going to happen! In fact, there was a point where it appeared that Keira Knightley had signed onto the project.

Now, we've learned that Steven Spielberg has been speaking with I Am Legend screenwriter Mark Protosevich about ideas for a Jurassic Park franchise reboot.

We've got mixed feelings about this, but we suppose this could be cool if done correctly AND if the dinosaurs aren't entirely CGI.

Bring back those animatronics, baby! Somehow, they're scarier.

Would U like to see Spielberg reboot the Jurassic Park franchise?

Yeah - WE SAID IT!!!

A newfound dinosaur species that use its thighs to kick predators likely had a bad temper to boot!

The 46-foot-long Brontomerus mcintoshi had an immense blade on its hipbones where strong muscles would have attached, according to a new study.

Brontomerus—"thunder thighs" in Greek—may have even attacked like a modern-day chicken, relentlessly kicking and stomping pursuers to death.

The team suspects the dinosaur—a type of sauropod, or plant-eating, four-legged lumberer—used its massive legs to either maneuver over hilly ground or deliver "good, hard" kicks to predators.

Wedel, assistant professor of anatomy at Western University of Health Sciences said,

"I could only imagine how ill-tempered these sauropods would have been. You've got a little brain, you're permanently paranoid about all these meat-eaters around, and you're trying to protect your young."

Sounds like humans and dinos are more closely related than we thought….

A new dinosaur has been discovered!

And by new, we mean old.

The Eodromaeus (pronounced eyo-DRO-may-us), a 4-foot long hunter that lived 230 million years ago in what is now South America has been revealed as the quick-moving predator that set the stage for the famous Tyrannosaurus Rex to follow in its footsteps.

Paul C. Sereno of the University of Chicago, a leader of the team that discovered Eodromaeus, says of the creature:

"It was a little dinosaur, but it carried a big evolutionary stick."

Sounds like it! Move over Spielberg, this is the guy we really have to thank for Jurassic Park.

Its features, like a balancing tail and air pockets in the skull, show it was closely related to T. rex, but it only weighed 10-15 pounds!

Nick Longrich of the department of geology and geophysics at Yale University agrees with the significance of the discovery, saying:

"It's very significant, because it helps give us a better idea of what the ancestor of carnivorous dinosaurs – including Tyrannosaurus, Allosaurus and the birds – would have looked like."

Excitement is in the air of the paleontology world as the new find brings scientists to within a few million years of the original "Eve" dinosaur!

Very cool stuff! We love dinosaurs and are still crossing our fingers they might come back one day.

What do U think of the new dinosaur?
