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.
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]
