In this set of materials, the reading passage states through 3 examples how dinosaurs differ enough from reptiles to be considered as endotherm animals, such as birds or humans. However, the professor in the lecture refutes all the assumptions made in the article, and his reasons are as follows.
To start with, the passage points out polar dinosaurs, mentioning how they have been found countless dinosaurs fossils in polar regions, implying that if these dinosaurs might were exposed to such low temperatures, was because they could handle this type of environment. Nevertheless, the professor denies this theory as he explains how cold regions were, in fact, warmer, and when the weather became colder it was impossible for dinosaurs to migrate to warmer zones.
Secondly, the reading contends the argument of how the leg position and movement of dinosaurs were typical from endotherms, pointing out how their legs were underneath their body, and not at the side like, for example, in lizards. The professor argues that this characteristic wasn’t necessarily enough prove to demonstrate how dinosaurs were endotherms, mentioning that the position of the legs was supposed to carry large size bodies and, by result, more weight.
Lastly, the article states how fast growth was an attribute from animals who had what is called “Haversian canals”, and how often these canals were detected in fossilized bones of dinosaurs. The professor agrees with the author of the passage commenting that dinosaurs did have Haversian canals, however, he also mentions the named “growth rings” and how they affected the rapid growth in dinosaurs in many ways, like for example, regulating their growing process to the point of stopping it in colder weather, as seen in reptiles.
In summary, the professor of the lecture doesn’t consider the evidence stated in the article solid enough to show and prove that dinosaurs were endothermal animals.
