> The working theory to these observed structures is that this mammal a rare example of a warm blooded creature turning cold blooded. I was so excited to read about this, but it turns out further research found that all ruminants possess these structures: https://www.nature.com/articles/nature11264 https://www.nature.com/articles/nature11264 > Our study supplies the strongest evidence so far that homeothermic endotherms arrest growth seasonally, which precludes the use of lines of arrested growth as an argument in support of ectothermy. The neat thing about this goat is how it now is part of a body of evidence that dinosaurs were endotherms.
