As if its short stature and ugly feathers weren't enough to give it an inferiority complex, one of the world's best preserved dinosaurs now turns out to have been ginger.

Scientists have revealed that the dog-sized Sinosauropteryx - a fast running meat-eater that lived 125 million years ago - was covered with 'russet and orange' feathers.

It's the first time that fossil experts have been able to identify the colour of any dinosaur.

The discovery isn't just shedding new light on the appearance of prehistoric monsters - it is also changing our understanding of the way dinosaurs evolved into birds.
