The article states that humpback whales migrate long distances navigating by the stars and provides three reasons for support. However, the professor explains that these reasons are unconvincing and refutes each of the reasons.
First, the reading argues that humpback whales seem to be intelligent enough to use stars to navigate. Nevertheless, the professor refutes this point by stating that there is no connection between intelligence and navigation. He adds that ducks know how to navigate by stars instinctively, but they are not intelligent.
Second, the article claims that humpback whales migrate in straight lines. So they use an external object such as stars to do it. The professor contends that they may use another object such as the magnetic field.
Third, the reading avers that humpback whales exhibit an unusual behavior; they sometimes look upward when their head is above the water. They may look at the stars for navigation. The lecture opposes this point by saying that it is true that looking at stars is a rare phenomenon, but some sharks do that for finding food, not for migration or navigation. He adds that humpback whales sometimes do this activity during the day, so they can not see the stars.
