Small marks on Dineobellator’s forearm point to a feathered body. It had clawed arms, strong hind legs and a long tail. Some marks on the forearm bones are interpreted as feather attachment points, a clue to the feathered appearance that older raptor reconstructions often missed.

Beyond the game
The real Dineobellator
The partial skeleton was found in New Mexico and described in 2020, after several excavation campaigns. It lived near the end of the Cretaceous, when dromaeosaurids were already highly diverse.
Fossils can also preserve injuries or signs of strain, although these need careful interpretation. Reconstructing an animal’s life involves more than measuring it: small details of its bones can tell part of its story.
