extinction of sea cow
The author of the reading explains The reasons for the extinction of sea cow are not clear and offer three theories about this. In contrast, The lecturer states that we don’t know what causes the extinction of sea cows and challenges each of the theories.
First of all, the author suggests that overhunting of sea cow by native resistant cause extinction, he states that sea cow was valuable food, so native resistant hunt them a lot, However, the Speaker refutes by stating that one sea cow was 9 meters and its weight is about 10 tons. The lecturer mentions the population of the native was low, so hunting one sea cow was feeding them for a month. Therefore, native resistant did not hunt them a lot.
Secondly, the article claims that changing in the ecosystem caused decrease, Kelp. Kelp is the main source of food for sea cow. But the lecturer opposes this point by describing that if the ecosystem is the primary idea for extinction, so other plants and other animals such as whale would be extinct by now. The speaker believes that food shortage did not cause extinction.
Eventually, the author establishes that European traders hunted a lot of sea cow and that is why the sea cow was extinct. The lecturer, on the other hand, explains that the number of sea cows was low before the European traders arrived at their hebitate. He believes that European traders hunted last of them, but is not the primary cause of their extinction.
