Despite the joke, scientists are fairly confident dinosaurs did not have mammalian hair. Hair is a defining feature of mammals, while non avian dinosaurs are known to have had scales, feathers, or feather-like filaments depending on the species. Because keratin based soft tissues rarely fossilize, their exact appearance is not always preserved. Even so, evolutionary evidence strongly supports feathers rather than true hair in many dinosaur lineages. Source (MLA): Benton, Michael J. Dinosaurs Rediscovered. Thames & Hudson, 2019.
