Sea otters small mammals
The reading and the lecture are both about the decline in the population of sea otters. The author of the reading feels that a decrease in the population of the sea otters is due to environmental pollution and predators. The lecture challenges the claims made by the author. He is of the opinion that it is due to predation.
To begin with, the article mentions that an increase in the chemical pollutants that affects the immune system of the small mammals and it lead to death. However, the author argues that if the decline is due to the environmental pollution caused by the oil rigs then the dead otters should float on the seashore. This specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. He claims that, if the sea otters float on the seashore the predators will eat them.
Secondly, the writer suggests that the population decrease is due to the orcas. In the article, it is said that seals were hunting the sea otters for their food. The lecturer, however, rebuts this by mentioning that due to the decrease in the population of whales the orcas changed their way of hunting from large species to small species like sea otters.
Finally, the author posits that an uneven pattern of sea otters is due to predation. Moreover, it is stated in the article that the coastal area of the Alaskan sea has an increased concentration of pollutants which leads to the uneven pattern of sea otters at that area. In contrast, the lecturer's position is orcas can hunt only to the accessible area. The stability of the sea otters is more near the shallow rocky area than the coast.
