::: It's not common knowledge, because, as I said, I can find a number of sources that say that dinosaurs are reptiles.  So I agree a source is needed.  And I have two questions.  1) Is cold-bloodedness (still) considered a defining characteristic of reptiles (as distinct from a typical characteristic)?  That is, does finding that dinosaurs are warm-blooded mean that they are not reptiles, or does it mean that cold-bloodedness is no longer considered an absolute requirement of reptilianness? 2) Have all dinosaurs been found to be warm-blooded, or just some?  [[User:Philip J.

:::: It is my understanding that some dinosaurs were found to be warm-blooded.  I am not aware of any reclassification away from Reptilian. [[User:Learn together|Learn together]] 12:20, 21 April 2008 (EDT)
