Listen guys. Not to offend anybody who thinks Tyrannosaurus rex had feathers, but could we at least try to see if the Tyrannosaurus could by default be featherless? We have no evidence currently supporting Tyrannosaurus having feathers. And no Yutyrannus is not evidence. These were two creatures from different times and locations, meaning different climates. Yutyrannus had to adapt to the colder climate by having feathers. Tyrannosaurus didn't need feathers most likely since it lived in a much warmer climate and had its tremendous body size would have caused it to have gigantothermy (look that up). Also Therizinosaurus and Gigantoraptor, live in deserts, and have feathers, but deserts are extremely cold at night, meaning feathers still have a function there.
