Robert T. Bakker

Robert T. Bakker (Bob Bakker) (born March 24, 1945) in Bergen County, New Jersey, is a famous American paleontologist who has helped re-shape modern theories about dinosaurs, particularly by adding support to the theory that some dinosaurs were homeothermic (warm-blooded). His special field is the ecological context and behavior of dinosaurs. His book The Dinosaur Heresies first propelled him to popular attention.
