Summary
The main idea of both the passage and the lecture is about Pterosaurs being able to powered flight or not. With this in mind, the author mentions that this large and gigantic creatures were not able to fly and used their wings or glide and three episodes of arguments are provided. The lecturer, on the contrary, categorically refutes all the three evidence and explains that recent Pterosaurs were capable of power flight.
First, both the reading and the listening discuss the idea of cold-bloodedness of Pterosaurs and its relevance to their flying capability. In this line of thought, the passage maintains that because of slow metabolism of cold-blood animals, it is far-fetched that they could have produce a lot of energy to fly. The lecturer, on the other hand, states that the fossil of this animal revealed that they had dense, hairy coverage which is indicator of warm-blooded animals. The fur in these animals used to help them maintain high body metabolism and organize cold temperature. Accordingly, they should have been considered warm-blood animals and used the hair to supply energy.
Second, both the text and the talk put forth the idea of the weight of animals. In this vein, the author believes that because of their large scale, they could not fly and flap their wings. However, the lecturer points out that the anatomical feature of these animals shows that their bones are hollow and not solid ones to be heavy. Despite their enormous body size, the hollow bones made them light animals which enabled them to flab their wings and fly.
Third, both the reading and the listening materials talk about the weakness of the hind legs. In this regard, the passage explains that animals like birds fly using their hind leg which are pretty strong. Conversely, the lecturer states that there is a huge difference between birds and Pterosaurs. Birds use their two hind legs while they want to fly and launch; however, the Pterosaurs take advantage of all four limbs. Modern analysis of these animals revealed that they push off the ground using the four limbs and hence they have had no problem using the limbs to jump or to fly.
