The lecturer starts her lecture by sharing some dissatisfactions among scientists who contend that dinosaurs were not endothermal. Although the passage suggests that dinosaurs were endothermic, animals that can maintain constant body temperatures, the lecturer provides a cogent counterpoint on why the conclusion and the argument from the passage might not hold water.
To start with, the author states that dinosaurs might be endothermic based on the fact that there were some polar dinosaurs. The passage states that only endothermic animals can survive the asperity of climate in the polar reason. However, some scientists, whom the lecturer cites, believe that the polar climate might have been warmer than today. They also point out the possibilities that probably these polar dinosaurs might have migrated or hibernated, which is one of the characteristics of modern reptiles, during harsh winter polar.
Secondly, the author claims since most modern endotherms have legs under their body, dinosaurs should be endotherms. The author also states that strong physiology calls for strong physical activity such as running. The author rebuts this conclusion and states that dinosaurs strong weight accounted more for its big body and less for running.
Finally, the author states that the presence of Haversian canals, which contain nerves and blood vessels, are also present in dinosaurs. On the other hand, the lecturer states that from the evidence achieved from the growth rings of dinosaurs, their growth was more periodic than continuous. The growth rate would increase during the hotter season and slow down during winters. The author states that a fitful growth pattern is a characteristic of modern reptiles and therefore suggests that dinosaurs were not endotherms.
