The reading and the lecture are both about a Repenomamus robustus. The author of the reading believes that this animal was a scavenger, but the lecturer cast doubt on the claims made in the article. She thinks that R.robustus was an active hunter of dinosaurs.

Firstly, the author points out that this animal was too small to be able to hunt dinosaurs. This point is challenged by the lecturer. She says that this animal was small for first years of his life. Furthermore, she argues that robustus was bigger than twice.

Secondly, the author contends that legs of R.robustus were not suitable for hunting just for scavenging. The article notes that they were short and because of that R.robustus were not able to speed up as fast moving Psittacosaurs. The lecturer rebuts this argument. She suggests that short legs of R.robustus let them to reach speed up to 50 km per hour.

Finally, the author states that bones inside the stomach of the R.robustus did not have any arguments that this animal liked hunting on free eggs of animals. The lecturer, on the other hand, posits that R.robustus had a powerful bone (jawbone) allowed him to be a good hunter.
