‘Rainbow’ dinosaur that had shiny, colourful feathers like a hummingbird discovered

Biology is soooo cool.

I still want a painting of a “Bird-of-Paradise” feathered Triceratops — dancing. ☺

A duck-sized dinosaur found in China had a head and chest covered in shiny feathers similar to those seen on hummingbirds. The creature has been named Caihong juji, meaning “rainbow with the big crest” in Mandarin. When palaeontologists analysed a fossil of the dinosaur, first discovered by a farmer in northeastern China, they found evidence of brightly-coloured plumage.
