Cannablism

In Walking with Dinosaurs it was shown eating its own young..

Curling

I once read a book that showed a thrinaxodon fossil that had been found curled up like a sleeping cat or dog. The book cited this as further evidence that they were warm-blooded. I'll have to track that reference down if I can... it's been years! --Iustinus (talk) 19:25, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Whiskers?

Pits on the skull indicate that Thrinaxodon had whiskers and, therefore probably also had a covering of fur.

I don't recall this being definite. I thought it was determined that the pits could also have been muscle attachment points? Contributions/97.104.210.67 (talk) 19:24, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Andreas Sweden: Yeah I agree. This is not scientific. Perhaps it gives the correct idea of what the scientist say about this fossil. But this category of science of palentology is very mutch made up of wishful thinkin. One quick glance at that fossil, and You can see that the animal is more liklely to be a dinosaur, than a half dinosaur half hound/mamal/lizard. I want to see clear evidence before bold statements like the cited one above are made, otherwise it's just psuedo science. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.82.118.217 (talk) 19:27, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In any case it's not a dinosaur, and has never ever been thought of as such. FunkMonk (talk) 20:41, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No one is saying it is a dinosaur, but the question remains...? 97.104.210.67 (talk) 23:59, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
