The only animals living today which have feathers are birds. All birds are in the taxonomic class Aves. In many cases, feathers give birds the ability of flight. Others, such as the ostrich, cannot fly. For all birds, feathers can serve as insulation. Some species, including the peacock and bowerbird, have males with very elaborate feathers which they display during mating rituals.

Fossil evidence indicates that some species of carnivorous dinosaurs had primative feathers. This suggests an evolutionary link between reptiles and birds.

What type of event is a plume dominated fire?

A plume-dominated fire is characterized by a strong vertical column of rising hot gases and smoke, often seen in wildfires or large structural fires. This type of fire generates significant heat, leading to an intense updraft that can create a plume extending high into the atmosphere. The plume can impact fire behavior, spreading embers over large distances and influencing weather patterns in the vicinity. These fires are typically fueled by abundant combustible materials and are often more challenging to control due to their dynamic nature.
