The reading and the lecture both talk about pterosaurs, and about that they could flight or not. The author suggests that they could not fly because of three reasons; however, the professor states that the arguments are not strong enough.
At first, they discuss cold-blood. The reading claims that pterosaurs were probably cold-blooded and they had a slow metabolism. As a result they could not produce a lot of energy for flight. The speaker, on the other hand, says that pterosaurs had a hair covering which covered them in low temperature, and made them like warm-blooded creatures.
Secondly, the reading and the lecture talk about the weight of pterosaurs. The writer argues that pterosaurs, because of their heavy weight, can not flight. In contrast, the professor states that pterosaurs were hollow; consequently, they were not too heavy and they would have been able to flight.
Finally, the article and speech discuss the power of take off. The reading suggests that all flyer animals should take off from ground and then fly like birds. For this ability they should have strong legs. But pterosaurs did not have strong back legs muscles. Nevertheless, the lecturer says that pterosaurs used their four legs for walking. So they could run as fast enough and jump.
All in all, the reading claims that pterosaurs were not able to fly. However, the professor says that the reasons mentioned in the passage are nor persuasive.
