This is an artist's recreation of Sinosauropteryx. It was the first dinosaur to be found with fossilized feathers. By studying the structures of melanosomes discovered on its feathers, scientists determined that this dinosaur exhibited chestnut to reddish-brown tones and even a striped tail!

This Alien-like Predator is the Ultra Black Pacific Dragon. Its black color is so dark it can seemingly disappear in plain sight, thanks to their densely-packed pigments called melanosomes. Their skin nearly suck-up/absorb all the light (99.95%). A perfect camouflage adaptation in the deep sea.
Sinosauropteryx Prima was a small Compsognathid Dinosaur. Preserved melanosomes show that it had a banded tail, as well as a racoon-like mask/band over the eyes. It was the first non-avian dinosaur taxon discovered with direct evidence for feathers.
Anchiornis, a small paravian dinosaur known from numerous fossil remains. One specimen was so pristinely fossilized that we could tell from its preserved melanosomes that it had a grayish-black body and a rufous crown.

An international team of researchers has found direct chemical evidence that the fossilized remains of a bird-like dinosaur still harbor melanosomes and the pigment they produced. Their study reinforces the idea that scientists can discern the coloration of long-lost animals. nature.com/articles/srep1…

It really does, I swear!
Dropped my best ever dad joke & no one was around to hear it
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

I wanna hear your best airplane puns.
Pilot on me!!
These aren't dad jokes...
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
