Dinosaurs may have been more fuzzy than previously thought
Can you imagine having a pet T-Rex called “Fluffy?”
Cool. I wonder if they evolved fur for weather/elements protection, camouflage, or both.
Given increasing evidence that dinosaurs were warm blooded, having scales evolve into a downy structure (that would eventually become feathers) would help them retain body heat, much like fur does on mammals.

Sounds like reptile dysfunction. |
