Archeologists have recently found a fossil of a 150-million-year-old mammal known as Reponomamus Pobustus.
In his commentary, the author describes the reasons why Robustus was a scavenger rather than a predator. The lecturer casts doubt on the claims made in the article. She uses the following evidence to suggest that neither relatively small size nor the positions of its legs, or absence of teeth marks indicates that the ancient animal was a scavenger.
The first contradicting point is the relation of the size of Repenomamus robustus to its prospective prey’s size. According to the reading passage, the size of an ancient animal was relatively small, which makes it impossible to hunt of large animals. The lecturer rebuts this argument, saying that Robustus could actually eat babies of large dinosaurs. She boosts her argument, bringing forth the idea that the predators were twice the mass of their preys, and the dinosaur, which was found in the stomach of Robustus, was actually twice lighter than the hunter.
Another controversial issue is the position of its legs on the body. The author claims that the legs of an animal were too small for hunting, because Robustus was a slow-runner. The lecturer, on the other hand, posits that the modern short-legged hunter with the same position of its legs as Robustus, the Tasmanian devil, could achieve the speed of 15 kilometres per hour.
The third contradicting point is the absence of the teeth marks of the bones, which were found in the stomach of an ancient animal. According to the reading, the hunters usually used teeth to chew its preys, leaving marks on their bones. The lecturer contradicts this point, saying that the author overlooks important thing, such as the ability of the predator to swallow its prey whole, leaving no teeth marks at all.
All in all, the author of the reading passage and the lecturer have different points of view. While the former believes that Robustus wa unlikely a hunter, the latter demonstrates the overlooked by the author important things.
