TPO-04 - Integrated Writing Task Endotherms are animals such as modern birds and mammals that keep their body temperatures constant. For instance, humans are endotherms and maintain an internal temperature of 37°C, no matter whether the environment is wa

The article states that dinosaurs were endotherms animals and provides three reasons of support. Conversely, the professor states that many scientists have argued that dinosaurs were endothermic and she refutes each of the author's reasons.

First, the reading posits that according to dinosaur fossils that have been discovered in polar regions, only endothermic animals can tolerate such cold climates. The professor opposes this point by explaining that during that time, polar regions were warmer. So, not endothermic animals can live there. She also adds if there were cold climate, many animals could have migrated or hibernated like reptile animals. And consequently, the discovery of these dinosaur fossils do not proof that dinosaurs were endothermic.

Second, the article claims that the position of legs underneath the dinosaur's body is allows to sustain activity, such as running. this strongly suggests that dinosaurs were endothermic. The professor, on the other hand, explains that this leg positions do necessary functioning for activity like running. There is another explanation for the positions underneath the body, is to support weight. Since the dinosaur had a large size, its leg would be supporter for heavy weight. She concludes that there is no link between dinosaurs being endothermic animals and leg position and movement.

Third, the reading avers that the presence of Haversian canals in dinosaur bones is highly supports that the animal is an endotherm. The professor refutes this point by saying that in addition to Haversian canals that have found inside dinosaur's bones, there are growth rings too. She explains that these rings are thickening bones, and thus animals will not grow rapidly. She mentions also that one of the endothermic animals characteristics is animals has the ability to grow up rapidly even if at cold climates. The growth rings suggests that dinosaurs had stop or grow slowly which indicates they were not endothermic animals.
