 Bakker Robert
Robert T. Bakker is a near-legendary paleontologist, a preacher, a teacher, a rebel, an artist, something of a comedian and the owner of a small fleet of kitchen appliances due to his four marriages.
Bob Bakker was a leader of the handful of iconoclastic paleontologists who rewrote the book on dinosaurs three decades ago.
Bakker’s convictions that dinosaurs were anything but sluggish evolutionary failures are the fruit of a seed planted at the age of 10, when he came across a copy of a 1953 Life magazine at his grandfather’s house in New Jersey.

Bakker surveyed fossil collections and found that the ratio of dinosaur predators to dinosaur prey was about 1 to 100 - the amount that would be expected if dinosaurs were warm-blooded!
Third, by studying cross-sections of bones, Bakker realized that dinosaur bones are more similar to fast-growing warm-blooded birds and mammals, than they are to slow-growing cold-blooded reptiles.
Bakker also studied the large sauropods which Marsh had suggested were swamp dwellers.

Bakker (now at Glenrock Paleontological Museum, Wyoming) thought that dromaeosaur skeletons were extremely bird-like, and accordingly dressed them in bird-like plumage.

However, despite their high public profile, dromaeosaurs were rather poorly understood.

Lesser known is the fact that he is a Pentecostal Preacher.

 Dino Land Paleontology Interviews: Dr. Robert T. Bakker
During this dinosaur Renaissance Bakker, John Ostrom, Armand de Ricqules, and others raised questions on the ancestry and metabolism of these redefined dinosaurs.
Ostrom, and his brilliant Yale student Bakker, led the charge that resulted in the now nearly universally accepted idea that birds evolved from dinosaurs, and the still hotly debated idea that some dinosaurs may have been warmblooded.
While it is still debated just who first proposed this heavily debated idea of dinosaur endothermy, Bakker seems to think that he did, pointing to a paper on the issue that first appeared in 1968.

This distinction applies to most (though not quite all) living tetrapods, but may break down somewhat in regard to extinct reptilian creatures such as dinosaurs, about whose body metabolism we know frustratingly little and the sea turtles which seem to have some degree of endothermy owing to their large size.
(See the article on Bob Bakker for more information about the warm-blooded dinosaur theory.)
