@kodeman: This was in the news just a couple of weeks ago! 🙂 It’s still being debated!
We used to think they were cold-blooded (ectothermic, meaning they get their heat by absorbing it from their environment) but a new scientific argument suggests they wouldn’t have been able to develop the amount of muscle they had unless they were warm-blooded (endothermic, like us – able to generate their own warmth).
