Archaeologists have recently found a fossil of a 150-million-year-old mam-mal known as Repenomomus robustus (R. robustus). Interestingly, the mammal's stomach contained the remains of a psittacosaur dinosaur. Some researchers have therefore suggested that R. robustus was an active hunter of dinosaurs. However, a closer analysis has made the hypothesis that R. robustus was an active hunter unlikely. It was probably Just a scavenger that sometimes fed on dinosaur eggs containing unhatched dinosaurs.
First, R. robustus, like most mammals living 150 million years ago, was small—only about the size of a domestic cat. It was much smaller than psittacosaurs, which were almost two meters tall when full grown. Given this size difference, it is unlikely that R. robustus would have been able to successfully hunt psittacosaurs or similar dinosaurs.
Second, the legs of R. robustus appear much more suited for scavenging than hunting: they were short and positioned somewhat to the side rather than directly underneath the animal. These features suggest that R. robustus did not chase after prey. Psittacosaurs—the type of dinosaur found in the stomach of R. robustus—were fast moving. It is unlikely that they would have been caught by such short-legged animals.
Third, the dinosaur bones inside the stomach of the R. robustus provide no evidence to support the idea that the dinosaur had been actively hunted. When an animal has been hunted and eaten by another animal, there are usually teeth marks on the bones of the animal that was eaten. But the bones of the psittaco-saur inside the R. robustus stomach do not have teeth marks. This suggests that R. robustus found an unguarded dinosaur nest with eggs and simply swallowed an egg with the small psittacosaur still inside the eggshell.

The author and the lecturer talk about the topic " Repenomamus robustus been a dinosaur". according to the research, robustus stomach content was found with remaining of the psittacosaurs. Whereas the author argues that robust was not a hunter, it was a scavenger so this claim is false. but, the professor in the lecture opposes the argument presented the author.

Firstly, The author states that the robustus dinosaurs were smaller than the psittacosaurs, so it is impossible for a robust to eat such a big mammal. robustus dinosaur must have swallowed the egg of Psittacosaurus. but the professor refutes this assumption by saying that Although robustus is smaller than psittacosaur and other mammals, it can be possible that they must have eaten a baby psittacosaur. baby dinosaurs are smaller in size than robustus.

Secondly, The author claim that robustus is more suited to scavenging than hunting because of their leg size. The position of legs of these dinosaurs is underneath the animal which suggests that robust does not chase after prey. In addition, psittacosaurs were fast-moving mammals that were impossible for a robustus to catch. this supports the idea that robustus is a scavenger than a hunter. However, The professor denies this suggestion, by taking an example of another modern mammal, which also has short legs similar to the robust and they also run fast. so, If modern mammals can run fast with such leg size then it is a possibility that robustus dinosaurs may have also.

Lastly, The author talks about the teeth marks. according to the research, no teeth marks are found on the remaining. this supports the idea that dinosaurs were not active hunter. While the professor opposes the idea by adding that robustus use to have very strong jaw but they do not use their back teeth. they usually help them to swallow their food. so, it can be expected that psittacosaurs content does not show any teeth marks.
