TPO-47 - Integrated Writing Task Pterosaurs were an ancient group of winged reptiles that lived alongside the dinosaurs. Many pterosaurs were very large, some as large as a giraffe and with a wingspan of over 12 meters. Paleontologists have long wondered

The reading and the lecture both are discussing about the pterosaurs which want to know whether they were be able to fly or had a capability of glide. The author of the reading believes that they could not move with powered fight and the lecturer casts doubt on the claims made in the article. She thinks that they could fly b flapping their wings.
First of all, the passage claims that they are cold-blooded and because their metabolism were slow they could not produce energy. The professor contradicts this statement by saying that some fossil discovery of pterosaurs indicates that they had dense hair which covered them and it was similar to the fur. Also, they could maintain their temperature of their body high when the weather of their surrounding was cold. So the could supply energy in order to flying.
Secondly, the author states that they could not fly since they were heavy. The lecturer rejects this idea by explaining that their anatomical feature was unusual and they could sustain their boy light. They had hollow in their bone and that hollow kept their body low. So they were enough low to be able to flying their wings.
Thirdly, the author mentions that those animals who can fly are the capability of taking off. The lecturer oppose this idea by saying that there is a difference between birds and pterosaurs. Birds walk on ground by two limbs,however pteroaurs walk by four limbs. So They were able to fly.
