Summarize.
The lecturer proposed several points to oppose the ideas mentioned in the reading. He maintained that the proofs used in the passage to support the notion that humpback whales use stars to navigate when migrating are invalid. Points made in the lecture suggest that the evidences provided in the passage are faulty.
In the beginning, the professor brings up an example to demonstrate that intelligence is not necessarily a requirement for animals to navigate with stars. Ducks, for example, are relatively less intelligent animals that use stars to navigate. This weakens the claim in the passage that because humpback whales are smart, they can navigate with the stars; intelligence is not the key, says the professor, it is their nature that determines whether or not they can use stars to navigate.
The second support used in the reading to bolster the claim that humpback whales use stars to navigate is the fact that these marine creatures travel in a strait line when migrating. The lecture provides another possibility that the whales was able to perform such a feat. These whales have biomagnetide inside them that can navigate them via the earth's magnetic field, thus providing them the ability to travel in strait lines when migrating.
At the end, the lecturer explained that spy-hopping may not be associated with star-observing. He mentioned that sharks exhibit this action as well, but for hunting purposes. Also, these humpback whales usually spy-hop during the day when stars are not visible. Considering these facts, sky-hoping cannot be used as an observation to support that humpback whales actually read stars, as explained in the reading.
As a whole, points made in the lecture undermine details supporting that whales observe the stars to navigate when migrating. The facts that less intelligent animals can also use stars to navigate, that whales can use biomagnetides to help them migrate in a strait line, and that whales are probably not spy-hopping to look at the stars put the conclusion of the passage in great doubt.
