I need paleo Twitter's help, but I don't know who to ask and I don't want to be intrusive tagging someone.
My question is about how plausible a terrestrial sharks with extensible "gills" for thermoregulation would be.🤔

PS: It's from a fantasy world, but I like Biology/Spec Evo.

Lil art piece I did for a poster all on the function of ceratopsian frills. May just be directly inspired by the paper made artwork for based on archosaur thermoregulation

Cool Ayanami Fact
My body temperature is several degrees below human baseline. I always need a blanket. I have poor thermoregulation.
Thank you for listening to my cool Ayanami fact.

Yes!!! Im working on a project for dragons :D

The ones below are flightless, instead using their wings in thermoregulation and a new kind of hunting strategy

I think barghest pups should have full body cotton-like fur that eventually gets replaced with their much coarser and sparser dark fur.
Thermoregulation is hard when you’re tiny, and finding the neck on something shaped like a lint-ball is even harder.

Late entry for
Bagaceratops. Males adorn vibrant displays of color during the breeding season, but usually match the color of sand dunes. This serves a thermoregulation purpose for larger adults, who are more vulnerable to the scorching heat than darker young.

Acrocanthosaurus sported tall spines that formed a ridge right through its back! The function is currently unknown, but some either believe its for display or thermoregulation!
