Summarize the points made in the lecture you just heard, explaining how they cast doubt on the specific theories discussed in the reading passage.
The reading and lecture are both about the Brachiosaurus' habitat. The author of the reading states that Brachiosaurus lived in water. However, the lecturers dispute the author's arguments, and she is of the opinion that this particular dinosaur lived on land.
To begin with, the author believes that Brachiosaurus couldn't stand on land as their short legs were unable to suppose their weight. The lecturer disagree that point by claiming that there was fossil evidences of Brachiosaurus' footprints on land. The evidences show that some sauropods walked on land with four feet.
Secondly, the reading states that Brachiosaurus' neck couldn't reach trees due to the weight of its head. In contrast, the lecturer refutes this by mentioning that Brachiosaurus could easily feed on land plants, and lift its neck like a giraffe. In addition, she points out there are plenty of plants at its body height, even if it could only reach out its neck horizontally.
Finally, the author claims that Brachiosaurus' nostrils are located at the top of its head, which means that it could breathe like swimmers' snorkels. The lecturer dismisses that point. She cites the evidence of bone fossils indicating that these dinosaurs had narrow feet, like elephants, which are unfit to live in water.
