The article claims that dinosaurs are endotherms and provides two reasons of support. However, the listening explains that the ideas stated in the article is not enough to justify that dinosaurs are endotherms and refutes each of the authors reasons.
First, the article posits that dinosaurs are endotherms as their fossils in polar region indicates that they could live in cold climates. However, the lecture opposes this by saying that polar arear were much warmer than today. So, this information is not enough to say that dinosaurs were endotherms. Again, the lecture also states that, if they were in polar region with extreme cold, they would have hybernated themselves for moved somewhere else.
Second, the article claims thatdinosaurs were endotherms as their position of legs matches with the endotherms. The lecture refutes this reason by saying that the legs are beneath their body not beacuse they were endotherms but for the size of their huge body. This position of legs could hold more weight than the legs beside the body.
Third, The article states that dinosaurs were endotherms because of their body structure containing Haversian canals. However, the lecture explains that, although this is true about the dinosaurs, their body structures also contained growth ring. It might be the cause of their rapid growth.
