Edmontosaurus survived the winter by migrating south to more hospitable regions.
In this set of materials, The reading passage indicates that a specific kind of dinosaurs (Edmontosaur) survived the winter by migrating to more hospitable regions. However, the lecturer explains that this hypothesis is not convincing and rejects each of the author's reasons.
The author claims that the Edmontosaurus diet supports the idea because during winter there was no plant they fed, so they migrate to temperate zones to find food. The woman explained that those days during the summer the sun was warmer and suitable for plants to grow. Dinosaurs could able to use the nutrition that remained by dead plants.
The reading states that they were lived in herds, so it helps them to migrate and support the idea. The lecturer said that living in herds may have other reasons like extra protection. For example, elk lives in herds the whole year, but they don't migrate.
The passage indicates that dinosaurs were physically capable of migrating long distances to reach more hospitable regions. These animals run very fast so they can reach the destination quickly. The professor opposes the reason by providing his reason. She said only adult ones are too fast but there are also juvenile ones that are not as fast as their adults. As a result, they cannot leave their juveniles behind, and also if they bring them, they cannot even reach the destination.
