The reading passage discusses an interesting topic about humpback whales migration using the starts to cover long distances, and provides three main reasons for supporting. However, the lecture casts doubts on the claims exposed by the article. He thinks that the reason whales can migrate long distance has nothing to do with the starts.
First, the reading passage relates the high level of intelligent and ability to develop abstract cognitive thoughts in humpback whales with the capability of reading starts as a guide to travel long distance. On the contrary, the lecture explains that there is no evidence that could relate intelligence with the skill to navigate by the starts. In addition, the lecture includes the example of ducks as an animal with medium or low intelligence able to migrate without problem. In clonclusion, the lecture supports that the instict factor over the intelligence is the reason why whales can migrate successfully for long distances.
Second, the reading passages stablishes than the reason whales can migrate in straigh lines is because they can orient themselves by the starts. In opposition, the lecture refutes this idea explaining that most animals, including whales, use the earth magnetic force to guide them in their journey. Moreover, whales has a biomagnectic organ that works as a sensor of the magnetic field.
Finally, the reading passages supports the idea humpback whales can read the start for migrate long distance by their spy-hopping behaviour: their heads come above the water to observe the stars. This argument is rebutted by the lecture claiming that whales present this same behaviour also during the day. Furthermore, other animals, like sharks, also do spy-hopping looking for a prey. Therefore, there is no evidences whales are using the start as a guide to travel long distances.
