The reading and the listening passages are both about endotherms, which are the animals that keep their body temperature not change. While the reading passage mentions three evidence that dinosaurs endotherms, the speaker provides three arguments that they were not.
First of all, the reading passage supports that only animals that can maintain a temperature can be active in such areas. However, the professor refutes this point. She states that at that time the region is much warmer than today. Moreover, she adds that dinosaurs could migrate to warmer areas or habitat. Therefore, they were not necessarily endotherms.
Secondly, the author avers that the leg position and movement indicate that dinosaurs were endotherms. The lecturer rebuts this idea by saying that dinosaurs leg’s position was to support the heavyweight. Also, she adds a point about growing and weight, so it is not accurate to say that just for running they are endotherms.
Finally, the writer contends that endotherms have a structure called Haversian canals. On the other hand, the professor explains that the growth of the bones suggest that they were not endotherms because the bones were not growing rapidly. They were affected by temperature. Also, she adds that the endotherms animals grow rapidly in hot or cold weather.
To conclude, the listening passage debunks all the points that the reading passage made.
