The reading and the lecture are both about the 52-hertz whales that have uncommon song among the other whales. More specifically, in regard to the passage, the writer presents three theories about the reasons of this unusal high-pitched song. The lecturer disputes the claims made in the article. His position is that all these clues are flawed and this still a mysterious.
First and foremost, the author of the reading states these whales are hybrid from odd whales species which have common features from both parents. The article mentions that hybrid whales have different songs than their parents. This argument is challenged by the lecturer. He claims that these whales are not hybrid, because hybrid whales have unusal pattern of migration and on other sides of usual whales. Additionally, he points out that these whales does not have any uncommon migration pattern.
Secondly, the author suggests 52-hertz whales have lack of hearing, so they learn how to sing by listening to the other whales around them like humans. In the article it is said that their song are different because they cannot hear. Again, the professor specifically addresses this point when he states increasing the pitch is depending on throat like human, and does not cause any damage of hearing. He goes on to say that there is no relation between damage hearing and throat.
Finally, the author brings his argument to a close by suggesting that 52-hertz whales are the only left members from their specise and the others died out in thr past. Not surprisingly, the lecturer takes issue with this claim by contending that even if these whales are rare where is thier parents?. He notes that the advanced technolgy can hear or record any type of these songs, but no record for this type of songs.
