Researchers are saying that some of the Dinosaurs have had stripes. This is based on a study conducted by scientists who have found melanosomes which causes the color pigment in the dinosaurs body. They have found and inspected the fossil of a dinosaur called Anchironis huxleyi. this dinosaur is a ancient bird. It had striped feathers, and was found in China. Its size is in comparison with the robin in grams. Scientists predict its color was present to attract future mating partners.
