THE GIST
Plant-eating dinosaurs had body temperatures measuring 96.3 to 100.8 degrees Fahrenheit.
Scientists were able to take the temperature of sauropods by measuring certain isotopes in dino teeth.
Sauropods may have been gigantotherms, meaning they could have maintained warm temperatures by their sheer size.

In other words, as big, hot, and sweaty as Al Gore.
