Both the reading and lecture are about the dinosaurs' migration in arctic climate. Since the climate of Alaska's North Slope was harsh in one hundred million years ago; hence, the dinosaurs' population could solve its problem with such tough circumstance by migration. The reading provides three reasons for confirming of this hypothesize. The lecture casts doubt on the claims made in the article. The professor finds all reasons dubious.
First of all, the author of reading declares that this type of dinosaur has been known as edmontosaur that was feeding on plants; consequently it requires plant for surviving and it had to move to temperate areas. This point is challenged by the lecturer. She contends in that time- one hundred million years ago- the temperature of arctic was warmer than today especially in summer days and there was the sun for 24 hours in the sky. It goes without saying much more plants could grow to compensate lack of vegetables in winter and even those plants had more nutrition.
Secondly, the article claims that a great number of dinosaurs' fossils have found in a site; subsequently, they may have lived in herd and as we all know the animals that usually migrate, collect in a herd. This argument is rebutted by the lecturer. The professor believes that living in the herd always is not related to migration. Sometimes animals spend their life in a herd for protection in front of predators. The epitome of this is a modern animal is called the rozavet elk which moves in herd for such a goal.
Finally, the reading passage proposes that originally edmontosaurs had the ability of moving in long distances because such difficult migration required dinosaurs to move several kilometers for a long period of time. On the other hand, the professor expresses that this argument is valid, however, a lot of found fossils are associated with juvenile dinosaurs, as a result they could not migrate fast like adult edmontosaurs. As a matter a fact, they walked slowly and their parents had to companion them during this rigid trip.
