i don't think a dimetrodon would be in favour of your crying. probably because it would interpret the noise as some sort of attempted roar, and would have to roar back, in turn

Remember when that guy came in here early in the thread to tell everyone they aren't dinosaurs, like I give a gently caress.

Dinosaurs are a bunch of bitches. Compared to dimetrodon.

I thought that was clear with the statement “raptors - dinozaur”

Edit: my favorite raptor is the American Kestrel. Except back when dimetrodons existed they were just called Kestrels because America wasn’t popular yet.

Dimetrodon CAN float though and some paleontologists believe the sail functioned as an actual sail to cross bodies of water.

the new science is that boobs and hair are ancient traits so it's a strong possibility this is not the case.

the consensus among paleontologists at this point is inching closer and closer to feathers being a basal trait for dinosauria, meaning that t-rex and every other dinosaur that ever lived would have had feathers at the very least in their youth, and more likely had some feathers in some places their entire lives, even if it were just a crest on their head or w/e. the fact that they found definitive proof that at least one other large tyrannosauroid dinosaur did have feathers, possibly covering its entire body, is further evidence that t rex prolly had them as well.

Being a basal trait doesn't necessarily mean all descendent species have that trait. It could be secondarily lost entirely in some groups.

That said, there's probably more reason to believe T. rex had feathers at some point in its life than not, for the reasons you said.

Depends on if you're hoping to resurrect Dimetrodons, which lived in the Permian, in the Carboniferous you instead had millipedes bigger than yourself
