Based on the given materials, the article, as well as the lecture, discuss the possibility that dinosaurs were endotherms, which are animals that can regular their internal body temperatures regardless of the environment’s changes. The author states that there are several viable theories that dinosaurs were endotherms. That being said, the lecturer provides several ideas to repudiate this claim.
Initially, the author says that since only endotherm animals can keep a body temperature above the polar environment, and there is some evidence that dinosaurs lived in Polar Regions, they must have been endotherms. However, the lecturer explains that this cannot be true owing to the fact that in those days, which dinosaurs lived, Polar regions were not as cold as nowadays. Thus dinosaurs which lived there had no problems maintaining body temperature during warm seasons. Also, they could have migrated or hibernated during the cold seasons.
Second, the writer proclaims that the connection between the position of legs, which is underneath the body, and endothermy shows that this feature allows endotherms to have physical activities such as running, and dinosaurs were not exceptional. Yet again, the speaker underscores that positions of the legs may have been developed to support more weights instead of energetic activities like running.
The final point of contention between the reading and listening passages is the existence of Haversian canals in some fossilized bones of dinosaurs. The author thinks these canals disclose that dinosaurs were endotherms because they allow them to grow fast. On the other hand, the speaker explains that albeit many dinosaurs had Haversian canals, some growing rings in bones indicate that these animals had a cycle in which they grew faster in warm seasons and stop growing in cold seasons, which is a characteristic of reptiles.
