The reading passage and the lecture offer opposing views regarding the dinosaurs. While the author of the article presents three evidences to support the idea that dinosaurs were endotherms, the professor in the lecture claims that those facts in the writing do not prove endothermy of the dinosaurs.
To begin with, the author of the article argues that discovery of dinosaur fossils in polar region indicates that they were endotherms. However, the professor in the lecture claims that polar regions, at the time when dinosaur lived there, were much warmer than they are today. He adds that dinosaur could have used the strategy of migrating to another suitable place or hibernating to survive in that polar region, and hence discovery of their fossil does not necessarily prove that they were endotherms.
Secondly, the writer of the article suggests that the position of legs below the body, which is typical to endotherm animals, justifies that dinosaurs were endotherms. Although it is stated in the passage that dinosaurs' legs are located below their body to enable them to run efficiently, the professor in the lecture contradicts that this position of the legs were for supporting more body weight. Being large is advantageous to dinosaurs, and this particular leg position enables the dinosaurs to go big in terms of the size of the body, according to him.
Finally, the professor refutes the idea of the passage that the presence of Haversian canals indicates that dinosaurs were endotherms. He states that in addition to Haversian canals, dinosaurs had growth rings, which means dinosaurs had undergone through periodical growth that is characteristic to the non-endotherms.
