In the given set of material, the author presents the theories that suggest that Pterosaurs were large size ancient cold blooded reptiles that were not capable of powered flight. However, the speaker in the following material cast doubts on those points by providing the evidences and justifications.
First, the reading states that the powered flight needed a lot of energy and as the Pterosaurs were cold blooded reptiles they had slow metabolism that did not produce sufficient amount of energy. The lecturer refutes this point and tells that the Pterosaurs had protective thick fur like covering that made them warm blooded and allowed to produce energy required to fly faster than as mentioned in the passage.
Second, the author says that they had large and heavy body which was an obstacle in their way of flapping wings fast enough to stay aloft for long. The professor rebuts this statement and argues that the anatomical feature of Pterosaurs was designed to fly as their bones were hollow and so they were light in weight indeed.
Third, the reading tells that the back legs of Pterosaurs were weak and were not capable to launch them in air by jumping or by running to gain speed like birds. Conversely, the speaker opposes this point as well and explains that there is huge difference between birds and Pterosaurs. Birds only use hind legs and have two limbs to keep them off from the ground. On the other hand, the Pterosaurs used all four limbs to run fast or to jump in order to launch themselves into the air. Hence, the speaker contradicts all theories mentioned in the reading passage and proves his point that pterosaurs were capable of flying.
