The article states that Pterosaurs were a type of reptiles that could not fly by flapping their wings, and provides three reasons for support. However the professor says that there are new research illustrates that Pterosaurs may capable to fly, and refutes each of author’s reasons.
First of all, the reading claims that reptiles nowadays are cold-blooded and the reptiles in the past are the same. So they have slow metabolism and low energy to fly. On the other hand the professor opposes this point by saying that scientists found Pterosaurs’ fossils covered with hair like fair. They assume that this hair to control their bodies’ temperature and that indicate these reptiles are warm-blooded and they have faster metabolism to fly.
Secondly, the article posits that Pterosaurs have heavy bodies, so it is difficult for them to fly or even to move their wings for long distance. However, the professor explain this point by saying that Pterosaurs have anatomical features make their bodies light. For instance they have hallow bones instead of solid ones. So there weights are low and they need less energy to keep their bodies into a sky.
Finally, the reading states that Pterosaurs need strong muscles in their legs to push them up while they want to initiate flying such as birds. In contrary the professor asserts that birds depends only on hind limbs to push up , but Pterosaurs use four limbs on the ground. That gives them the ability to run and jump fast enough to fly.
