The professor discusses the rapid decline of small sea mammals among North America's west coast, and why it has been proved to be <a href="https://www.bestmytest.com/toefl-integrated-writing/1#modal-vocab-lesso… style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline;">controversial</a>. The information he presents is in direct contrast with the details outlined in the reading passage. First, the lecturer denies the claim that the pollution is the main reason for the population decline. He argues that these small mammals are victim of larger predators. According to the professor, the larger predators kill the mammals and as a <a href="https://www.bestmytest.com/toefl-integrated-writing/1#modal-vocab-lesso… style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline;">consequence</a> to the death mammals' bodies wash up on the Alaskan shore. In the contrary, the reading specify that the reason why these species have rapidly diminished  is the fact that many pollution sources are found among the coast which indirectly result in the mammal's death. Secondly, the speaker points out that orcas have changed their diets routines as a result of whales <a href="https://www.bestmytest.com/toefl-integrated-writing/1#modal-vocab-lesso… style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline;">extinction</a>. In addition, the orcas started hunting other animals of prey such as small otters which are more frequently present among the Alaskan coast. On the other hand, the reading makes it clear that the <a href="https://www.bestmytest.com/toefl-integrated-writing/1#modal-vocab-lesso… style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline;">extinct</a>ion of otters, as well as other small mammals indicates that pollution is the main factor of their rapid decline. Finally, the professor discusses the uneven pattern of this decline, and he <a href="https://www.bestmytest.com/toefl-integrated-writing/1#modal-vocab-lesso… style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline;">mention</a>s that many large predators as orcas cannot reach the <a href="https://www.bestmytest.com/toefl-integrated-writing/1#modal-vocab-lesso… style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline;">shallow</a> and rocky places where the population of other small otters is drastically more <a href="https://www.bestmytest.com/toefl-integrated-writing/1#modal-vocab-lesso… style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline;">dense</a>. He explains that the places which are more <a href="https://www.bestmytest.com/toefl-integrated-writing/1#modal-vocab-lesso… style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline;">accessible</a> for the predators are usual places where these small mammals decline. Nonetheless, according to the reading, the uneven pattern of concentration of pollutants is the major reason why the pollution is not present among all Alaskan shore.
