The article discusses a fascinating topic pertaining to some arguments about Pterosaurs that they were not able to fly and provides three reasons of support. However, the professor casts doubt on this claim and opposes each of the author's reasons.
First, the reading discusses that the Pterosaures were cold- blooded which would have not been able to generate energy needed to fly. In contrast, the professor provides information that some recent discoveries suggest that the Pterosaurs had fur on their skin and the fur covering animals are warm-blooded to maintain high body temperature. He states that Pterosaurs like warm-blooded animals would have been able to generate energy needed to fly.
Second, the article pushes forth the idea that Pterosaurs were too heavy so they would not have been able to flap their wings to fly. According to the professor, the bones of Pterosaurs had a lot of hollows and it was not solid absolutely. Therefore, they were light in spite of large body.
Last but not the least, The reading posits that Pterosaurs had small back leg muscles. As a result, they could not run fast or jump high to launch and fly. The professor refutes this point by explaining that there are important differences between birds and Pterosaurs and the method that the reading explained is based on the birds. He states that Pterosaurs walked on four legs and they could use all four legs to push or jump not just two back legs, like birds. Consequently, they could run fast to launch.
