Description
Just a fast Paleo-satire parodying the current status of paleontology: Feathers, feathers and more feathers.Of course gorgonopsians didn't have feathers, they may've been leathery, hairy, or with a few hairs or whiskers, so don't take it too seriously

Well, fossilized poop from a gorgonopsid (possibly Inostancevia, I don't know) show that they may have had fur.

If you take out the caption, you can very well pass this as a doodle of a gorgonopsid with hair. Even funnier though is until the aforementioned feather thing making people think "dimetrodon with feathers oh no" most people didn't bat an eyelash much when artists drew hair on synapsids the same way when artists now put feathers on dinosaurs.

I remember someone on facebook commenting on a hairy Dimetrodon "I was okay with feathered dinosaurs, but with feathered Dimetrodon, they went too far!" XD
