Yes we can. Hair is a mammal thing.

Also, no hairy birds.

do we know that ONLY mammals had hair for the entirety of evolution? /genuine

There is a hairy frog. But he’s something of a psycho aberration.

It’s highly probable if dinosaurs evolved to look like this they’d have trouble breeding and die out.

All the males only listened to Tatesaur, and then all the females lost interest.

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

But what if a group of dinosaurs independently evolved hair or something highly convergent to it, but then that lineage left no descendants among modern birds, leaving none of them with the trait?

If we are going to make up stuff we can’t prove or disprove, at least go big. Like maybe some of them breathed fire.
