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.
