Dinosaurs might have used feathers on forelimbs and tails to flush and pursue their prey

Read more at In this video: This movie illustrates three different ways in which dinosaurs with proto-wings might have flushed their prey by visual displays to subsequently pursue them. First, the grasshopper jumps/flies away in response to expanding Robotperyx’s forelimbs with protowings. Second, the grasshopper jumps/flies away in response to the folding of forelimbs with protowings. Third, the grasshopper escapes in response to upward movements of the tail.
