Endotherms are animals such as modern birds and mammals that keep their body temperatures constant. For instance, humans are endotherms and maintain an internal temperature of 37°C, no matter whether the environment is warm or cold. Because dinosaurs wer

The lecture states that Endotherms are the mammals that maintain their internal body temperature warm no matter what and provide the example that dinosaurs are endotherms and provide three proofs for the claim. However, the professor disagrees with the reading and provides three supporting counter reasons.

Firstly, the reading claims that the polar dinosaurs were endotherms and claims that only mammals who are endotherms can survive such a cold and harsh climate. However, the professor refutes this point by saying that the polar region was not that cold during these time when dinosaurs were around and another possible explanation provided by the professor was that dinosaurs could have migrated during the winter so avoid such harsh climate and the existence of polar dinosaurs does not necessarily mean that dinosaurs were endotherms.

Secondly, the reading claims that the dinosaur’s leg position has a correlation with it being endothermic as the physiology of endothermy allows sustained physical activity. However, the professor opposes this point of view by stating that the position of the leg in dinosaurs has anything but the correlation with them being endothermic. The Professor explains that the position of legs did not proof and it only states

Thirdly, the bone structure has a relation with endothermy that the bone structure of dinosaurs has Haversian canals that is they have blood vessels that allow them to grow quickly. However, the professor argues against this point and states that the presence of this bone structure is not proof enough and states that the bones in dinosaurs had rings which occurs after aging which helps to prove that dinosaurs were not endothermic.
