American Museum of Natural History: Aug 11, 9:12am 8 reviews paleontology
http://www.amnh.org/science/papers/sleeping.php; From the page: "Finding by American Museum of Natural History Paleontologists Suggests Some Dinosaurs were Warm-Blooded like Birds" From the page: "The fossil dinosaur, a juvenile that is nearly an adult, sits on long, folded hindlimbs. Its forelimbs are folded bird-like next to its body and its neck curves to the left so that its relatively small head lies between the left elbow and body, a posture that is identical to the "tuck-in" posture of many living birds. Living four-legged creatures rest and sleep in various postures, but only birds and a subset of mammals rest on folded limbs. And only birds, with their long, flexible necks, tuck their heads behind a forelimb or wing to rest. By doing so, birds ball up and conserve heat. "This specific heat-conserving pose that Mei long was found in provides support for the hypothesis that at least some non-avian dinosaurs, including this animal and its troodontid relatives, were warm-blooded as are today's birds," Dr. Norell said."
