The article and the lecture both discuss the theory behind humpback whales navigation system. The reading claims that it is possible that stars assist the whales to navigate. The lecturer, however, refutes the author's assessment and contends that stars has nothing to do with that..
The first allegation of the script against which the orator argues is the possibility intelligence help humpback whales to navigate. The lecturer refuted this point by stating that other non-intelligent animals like ducks also navigate with the help of stars, He asserts that ducks use the stars to navigate inspite of not being intelligent.In other words stars navigation has nothing to do with intelligence.
Secondly, according to the speaker stars do not assist whales to move in straight lines, instead, there are some bio magnetic receptors in the brain which helps whales to be directed in their movement. Ultimately, These magnetic receptors collect very sensitive information from the surroundings and direct whales Moreover, these receptors help whales to orient themselves and move in straight lines.
Finally, the lecturer contradicts the fallacy of the passage that whales spy-hop to look for information about their direction . He contends that sharks spy-hop, however,sharks spy hop not to navigate, but to search for a pray.Besides, whale sky hop during the day, when no stars are in the sky.Thus, sky hopping is a movement which is not related to the instinct of navigation.
