The reading and the lecture are both about Humpback whales, and how they manage to migrate long distances.. The author of the reading believes that migrate long distances long distances for feeding and mating processes. The lecture casts doubt made on the article. He thinks that the whales have different specific ways of traveling the long distance.
First of all, the author points out that like many complex animals, the humpback whales use the stars to navigate where to go and where they are. It is mentioned that the whales complexity, helps them know where to go, using the stars. This point is challenged by the lecturer. He says that many animals use this. Furthermore he argues, that animals do not need intelligence to navigate the stars.
Secondly, the author contends that the humpback whales migrate in straight lines. The article notes that most animals use the land to track where they are going, but Humpback whales stay on sea, thus using the stars. The lecturer rebuts this argument. She suggests that the humpback whales use their bio magnetic. She elaborates in this by mentioning that bio magnetic allow them to track the earth's magnetic field.
Finally, the author states that the humpback whale are floating straight up for minutes at a time. The author establishes this by mentioning that this is known as spy hopping. The lecturer on the other hand establishes that the spy hopping is an act to see if there are predators around the area.
