The reading provides three recent evidences that dinosaurs were endotherms. However, the lecturer casts doubt on all those evidences. She says that scientists have a problem with those evidences as they are not approving that dinosaurs were endotherms.
The first evidence is that the author of the reading mentions that there are some fossils for dinosaurs have been discovered in polar region, which means that only animals that can maintain body temperature can live there. The lecturer, on the other hand, says that polar region was much warmer that today. She argues that dinosaurs could have migrated it is getting cold.
The second evidence is that the writer claims that there is a connection between the position and the movement of endotherms, as the legs is usually under the body to help for running. On the contrary, the professor clarifies that there is another explanation for this evidence. She puts forth the idea that the legs under the body to support the huge weight of dinosaurs for being large.
The last evidence is that the reading mentions that there is a connection between endotherms and bone structure. The author mentions that dinosaurs had a Haversian canals, which is very specific to endotherms. Conversely, the lecturer confirms that dinosaurs had growth ring, which had helped dinosaurs to stop growing or to grow more slowly in the periodic period, and this is not a characteristic of endotherms to grow then to stop or slowly growing, as they are growing rapidly.
