We have proof now. It's fact.

Not surprised, but this is the first "proof"? I guess that's something.

There'd always been indirect evidence through the fact that other dromaeosaurs had feathers, but this is the first direct proof of Velociraptor specifically being feathered.

It was only a matter of time, of course, but still, that time has come.

i think it is more probable that they had quill-like proto-feathers. that would be fucking sweet.

Actually, no. Dromaeosaurs more primitive than Velociraptors had the same fully developed feather types as modern birds. Protofeathers on Velociraptors makes about as much sense as a tail on a human. Their feathers were probably kiwi-like though.

Picture related.

Whoever drew this needs to lay off the acid. Neon colours do not camouflage make.
