I need to know
So, we know modern domesticated, (and even some wild!) animals enjoy being petted.
The question is. How far back in the history of evolution does this trait go?
What dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals would have loved a good head rub?? Which ones would have flopped over for some under-the-chin scritches??? Would some of them have headbutted you to ask for more affection like a cat??? Did some make happy sounds, like purring???
This is information I need. I need to know. Animals today exhibit these behaviors so it's pretty likely they could have done so in the past too!!
The idea of them being affectionate towards each other as well (as opposed to how they're often portrayed hunting/fighting/being scary) makes me happy too. I desperately wish we could see how they behaved.
