The raptor in winter

In recent years, with the discovery of fossils in both the arctic regions (mostly Alaska) and the Antarctic, we’ve seen more paintings and videos about dinosaurs adapting to winter with white or almost white feather plumage.

So far the dinosaur toy manufacturers have only offered warm weather dinosaur toys and models. When a March snowstorm hit, I thought why not convert some of my collection to winter plumage.

So here are dollar store raptors, an adult and subadult on the hunt in a snowy arctic Cretaceous landscape.
