They were probably warm blooded imo. The environmental variables required to maintain a reptile always seemed too perfect. This was a huge animal.

Chickasaurus, Found encrusted with eleven different substances as yet unidentfied. There may be a “kernal” of truth somewhere here, may be.

On the other hand; this could all be bull sperm..
People looking to get pregnant with a givernment GRANT..

I wanna know where the third human on this planet came from..
If NOT from TWO other ones.. THEN a bodacious Yarn must be constructed..

I tend to like the other Yarn... the one where there was a society before the Adam and Eve thingy..
A society with dinos and other creatures and then all those folks self destructed.. with the creatures..

THEN the Adam & Eve Story developed as a metaphor as a start for the current self-destruction going on..

Heck it s a free country (so far) I can choose my own bull sperm..

Well, that's largely because T-Rex was what amounts to a giant carnivorous flightless bird sporting jaws big enough to swallow a man whole lined with six inch long razor sharp teeth. The hip structure, bi-pedalism, and size all scream warm blooded giant bird but, as is usual, once scientists get hold of and build their careers and tenure on a theory they will defend it to the death. That all the great dinosaurs were cold blooded reptiles, like basking crocodiles, is an archaic notion along the same lines as all the oil and natural gas beneath our feet is derived from fossilized flora and fauna and is therefore in severely limited supply.

The scientific community is like a priesthood, with all the stubborn orthodoxy and accusations of heresy when someone has the balls to think and argue differently that characterize that culture.

Which is probably the case, and which is exactly why I no longer love dinosaurs the way I did when I was a kid. Giant reptilian monsters roaming the Earth? Cool! Giant chickens? I guess I’ll take up astronomy instead, now.

Anyone that has raised Muscovy ducks knows that the T. rex had to have friendly relatives.

I do wish we could bring back the dinosaurs. We could train them to hunt down and ... deal with the democrats..... and can you just imagine how large a bbq could be!!

Problem with speculating about feathered dinosaurs is that where are the feathers?

We are all familiar with how soft the tip of a feather is, no one would expect that to fossilize all that well.

But the quill part of a feather is a HARD substance. I think chemically, it’s got a lot in common with stuff like fingernails.

If there were big dinos with big feathers who were fighting and ripping each other apart, we should reasonably expect to find bushels of fossilized feathers - dump trucks full!!

Plus, over the course of their lifetimes, they would shed them, so we should find way more fossilized feathers than fully intact, articulated skeletons.

The discovery of a giant meat-eating dinosaur sporting a downy coat has some scientists reimagining the look of Tyrannosaurus rex.
I don't care if they used fabric softer for their baby T-Rex's diapers. Those HUGH teeth weren't for cracking Walnuts.

Someone should remind these geniuses that a Kodiak Bear, aka: Alaskan grizzly bear, has nice soft and cuddly fur too. And you don't want run into one in the woods unless you have the biggest dang gun you can shoot.
