Woke up and chose violence this morning, so here goes:
Akshully, the Jurassic Park creatures are not reptiles for a number of reasons.
Reptile is paraphyletic and arbitrarily groups species regardless of their lineage.
T. Rex was likely warmblooded as its descendants are.
The creatures are not entirely dinosaurs. They’re hybrids of dinosaurs, and modern animals that the Jurassic Park scientists believed were most similar genetically.
Anyway, thanks for commenting, and I hope I’ve conveyed an appreciative and respectful tone. I sincerely just like sharing, learning, and discussing things.
Very interesting. Were T-Rex really warm blooded, i thought that was a trait dinosaurs did not have at all and an advantage e.g. mammals had, allowing us to adapt better to the shifting climate?
You’re not spreading misinformation. You stated your thesis based on your assumptions. You tested it, and then shared your results. I really appreciate that.
don’t wanna fight, but i do want some clarification:
were they actually warm blooded, or that pseudo warm blooded thing some reptiles and fish do where they aren’t exactly warm ir cold blooded, but kinda in-between?
they are reptiles, so when i am cold, they are slow

Also, fight me.

EDIT: birds even inherited warm bloodness from the dinosaurs: https://www.livescience.com/dinosaur-metabolism-warm-cold-blooded the more you know
sorry for spreading missinformation

dinosaurs were all kinds of -blooded, but t-rex was probably fully warm blooded, like birds. Other, especially “older” ones were cold blooded.
thank you, that’s exactly what i wanted to know!
