>I don't actually mind feathered dinosaurs too much. My personal (and completely nonacademic) opinion is that only certain dinosaurs in certain climates had feathers, and even then, some of them only had them in infancy or what have you.
You're probably right. It's usually thought most of the really big ones didn't need feathers for thermoregulation unless they lived in a particularly cold climate (such as Yutyrannus). In other words, most of the big dinosaurs still look like "classic" dinosaurs

>>tfw you will never see any megafauna.
From wikipedia
>In terrestrial zoology, megafauna (Ancient Greek megas "large" + New Latin fauna "animal") are large or giant animals. The most common thresholds used are 45 kilograms (100 lb)[1][2] or 100 kilograms (220 lb).[2][3] This thus includes many species not popularly thought of as overly large, such as white-tailed deer, red kangaroo, and humans.

Megafauna doesn't need to be sauropod-sized to be megafauna. You can find megafauna in the dining room of your local McDonalds
