humpback whales
The professor discusses three main factors that illustrate why humpback whales do not use stars to find their way. The information he presents is in direct contrast to facts outlined in the reading.
First of all, the lecturer mentions that there is not a direct link between an animal’s intelligence and its ability for navigation purposes. In fact, he explains that birds such as ducks possess a medium level of intelligence. However, they have the ability of orienting themselves by stars. On the other hand, according to the reading, humpback whales have a powerful brain and they are so intelligent that they can use night sky for detecting their path.
Second, the professor states that humpback whales use magnetic field of the earth rather than stars to be aware of their position in the sea and also to maintain their straight line of movement. In contrast, the reading specifies that humpback whales depend on physical objects out of the sea such as stars to keep them moving straight.
Third, the speaker makes it clear that spy- hopping is not a matter of migrating and navigating through viewing stars. She cites the example of sharks which do the same thing but they do not spy hop for migration purpose. On the contrary, the reading describes that by spy hopping humpback whales look at stars to orient themselves.
