I want to take it one step further.

And no, I don't care if there's good reason to believe that Tyrannosaurs weren't fluffy like owls, I still want a decent artist's depiction of a T. rex with owl-level fluff.

Or a secretary bird

Or just look at depictions of terrorbirds. They actually coexisted with early humans.
