The reading and the lecture are about Pterosaurs, which are winged reptile lived during the dinosaurs era. The reading states there are doubts if these winged reptiles could be able to fly and provides three reasons to support this view. However, the lecturer explains that these creatures had the ability to fly and refutes each of the reading thesis.
First of all, the reading claims that Pterosaurs had a slow metabolism because they were cold-blooded, hence, they had not enough energy to fly. However, the professor opposes this point by saying that these animals may have the powerful energy to fly indeed. According to the professor, Pterosaurs had dense hair on their skin like fur, As a result, they could be warm-blooded animals.
Secondly, the reading makes an argument that Pterosaurs were huge, heavy animals like giraffes, thus, they could not be able to be held on the air to fly. On the hand, the lecturer counters this claim by mentioning that Pterosaurs had a light anatomic feature regardless of their size. He clarifies that they have hollowed bones that made them light to fly appropriately.
Thirdly, the reading says that these animals could not take off from the ground to fly because they have weak legs. However, the lecture posits this point by points out that Pterosaurs used their four limbs to push themselves in order to fly. According to the professor, these animals differ from birds, so the reading's argument is not acceptable.
