I think the argument has been mostly settled in favor of the "lukewarm-blooded" theory, but it'd still be interesting to see if anyone has any dissenting opinions.

    I was under the impression that warm-bloddedness in theropods was a relatively late development. That older ornithischian groups showed evidence of growth patterns closer to crocodilians than birds; evidence of lukewarm-bloodedness.

    But I never meant to suggest that our noble warm-blooded bird friends were cold, cold reptilians.
