possibility of flying Pterosaurs
The main topic of both the reading and the lecture center around the possibility of flying Pterosaurs. The author of the text lists three reasons that he thinks this theory is impossible. However, the lecturer refutes all three ideas one by one.
First, the text asserts that these animals were probably cold-blooded same as modern reptiles. So, they had a slow metabolism and were unable to produce a myriad of energy for flight. In contrast, the speaker points out that these reptiles had dense hair-like covering keep them warm. They were warm-blooded and had a high body temperature. Therefore, they had enough energy for flight.
Furthermore, the reading states that pterosaurs had large and heavy bodies which made them unable to flap their wings fast enough to stay aloft for and length of time. Conversely, the lecturer underlines the fact that they had special anatomical features that made them low weight. She mentions that they had hollow bones instead of solid bones which were not heavy.
Finally, the author claims that according to fossil evidence, these animals did not have big, powerful muscles in their back legs to launch themselves into the air. Thus, if these animals wanted to launch like birds, they need strong muscles. On the other hands, the speaker dismisses this idea, pointing out that pterosaurs were different from birds because birds use two limbs for their jumping, but these reptiles used all four their limbs to run fast and jump high enough.
