Pterosaurs reptile powered flight ability
The reading passage states that pterosaurs, a reptile with wings that used to live in ancient times, could not have the ability to fly and proposes some reasons. However, the professor in the lecture casts doubt on the points presented in the reading passage.
First, considering the reading passage Pterosaurus was a cold-blooded animal, since the other reptiles are now cold-blooded, and so it could not provide sufficient energy to fly. In contrast, the professor in the lecture contradicts the idea and further explains that recent discoveries show that the animal's body was filled with a hair-like cover such as fur, the feature exists among warm-blooded animals. Hence if they were warm-blooded they could obtain the energy to fly.
Second, the reading claims that these animals were too large to have the ability to fly since they could not flap their wings quick enough for this purpose. On the contrary, the professor in the lecture refutes the information in the reading and makes the point that pterosaurs had a special anatomic figure with hollow bones leading to a light weight. so they could have the ability to fly by flapping their wings despite their large figure.
Third, the author in the reading passage puts forward the idea that these animals could not take off because they did not have strong muscles in leg helping them to jump enough or run fast in order to launch a fly. On the other hand, the speaker in the lecture contradicts the idea and adds that comparing these animals to birds is a mistake. Ptosaurus had 4 legs despite birds having 2 limbs, and they could use all 4 limbs in order to run or jump. Therefore, actually they could launch a fly using their 4 limbs.
