Based on the given materials, the reading as well as the lecturer discusses migration of an ancient animal called edmontosaur. The author states that these animals were capable of migration but the lecturer provide several reasons to argue this claim.
Initially, the writer mentions that since edmontosaur's diet was made of vegitation, during the winter they could not have found enough food to survive and as a result they had to migrate. However, the speaker suggests otherwise because the summer condition were so good that there were plenty of food around. The summers of that area were warm and the sun shone 24 hours per day providing a perfect condition for plants to grow and consequently during winters dead plants were abundant providing plentiful nutrients for the animal.
Second, the author conclude that since the fossils of the animal were found in a concentrated place, they had been living in herds. Based on todays animal that are livining in a herd and they migrate, the reading suggests that edmontosaurs migrated too. Yet again, the lecturer underscours that there are some animals that live among a herd but they do not migrate since living in a herd have other benefits too such as having more protection.
The last contention between the reading and listening passages is the animal's physical abbilities. The author of the reading suggest that edmontosaurs were capable of making long distance journeis. On the other hand, the speaker points out juveniles and their disability too walk as long as a grown one. She explains that the younger could have slowed the herd so much that it was impossible to make the journey. She also states that the younger animals could not have been left behind because they were depending on the grown mammels so consequently the adult animals should have stayed to keep them alive.
