Both the reading passage and the lecture are about dinosaurs. The author of the reading passage feels that dinosaurs were endothermic. This idea is challenged by the lecturer. He is of the opinion that dinosaurs were not endothermic.
First of all, the author argues that they were warm-blooded animals because their fossilized structure was found in the polar regions. In the article, it is mentioned that only animals capable of maintaining their body temperature can survive in the polar regions. This specific point is challenged by the lecturer. He says that dinosaurs were present there during the warmer period and migrate to the new area when the temperature drops down. Additionally, he says that there might be higher temperatures in the polar regions than today so that dinosaurs were able to live there.
Secondly, the writer contends that dinosaurs' legs were underneath their body so they are endothermic. The article mentions that warm-blooded animals required to have their legs underneath their body. This point is rebutted by the lecturer. He is of the opinion that it is not necessary to have their legs beneath their body to be a warm-blooded animal. Furthermore, he points out that to support their large body structure, their legs were beneath their body, so they are not endothermic animals.
Finally, the author posits that they have Haversian canals, so they are endothermic animals. In the article, it is presented that Haversian canals are only present in the endothermic animals, hence dinosaurs should be endothermic animals. In contrast, the lecturer says that dinosaurs had growth rings. In fact, if they are endothermic then they should have a uniform pattern of their bone growth, but fossils record reveals that they don't have uniform growth patterns, so they are not endothermic animals.
