sea cows' extinction
The material discusses the reasons od Steller's sea cows' extinction. While the reading looks at the topic from one perspective, the listening challenges certain points outlined in the reading passage.
First, the reading claims that Siberian people overhunted sea cows. On the contrary, the listening challenges this and states that sea cows were massive creatures, one of them was nine metter long and ten tons weight, so it could feed village of Siberian for a month, in addition to that, the Siberian population were not very large, thus, they did not need to hunt a lot of them and cause their extinction.
Second, the author mentions that ecosystem fluctuation declined kelp, which is the main source of food of the sea cows. On the other hand, the lecturer opposed this and explains that if there was ecosystems disturbances on 1768, it should decline other marines, such as whales; however, there is no report of any decline of whales at the same time, hence, kelp should grew fine and sea cows did not have any food shortage.
Third, the author posites that the European fur traders were responsible the extinction. Conversely, the professor contradicts this and states that when the European traders arrived, the sea cows populations was allready quite small, the populations were declined 100 of years before 1700, so there was something happened long before the European arrival and caused the extinction.
