Recently, feather imprints have been found on the fossilized remains of many dinosaur species, notably the raptors. While Dinosaurs have been traditionally envisioned with scales, it is now believed that at least some dinosaurs, and likely all of the small theropods, had feathers. Dinosaurs like Deinonychus, Utahraptor and Velociraptor had feathers.
Some dinosaurs had feathers including, velociraptor, microraptor, oviraptor, therizinosaurus, sinosauropteryx, caudipteryx, anchiornis, dilong, psittacosaurus, beipasaurus, juravenator, archaeopterx, etc.
