Large numbers of dinosaur fossils have been discovered in deposits on Alaska's North Slope, a region that today experiences an extremely cold, arctic climate. One hundred million years ago, when those dinosaurs were alive, the environment of the North Slo

The reading and the lecture are both about edmontosaurs and if they migrated in South during cold and dark days. The author of the reading feels that edmontosaurs, survived the winter by moving to south. The lecturer challenges the claims made by the author. He is of the opinion that the edmontosaurs’s evidences are not convincing.

To begin with, the author argues that the edmontosaurs’ diet habit was plants. The article mentions that if they eat food in winter they should migrate the other area, This specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. He claims the edmontosaurs did not need to migrate the other area. Additionally, he says the edmontosaurs eat dead plant, so they do not have to find food.Moreover, the lecturer says that during summer the dinousaurs already ate a lot of plants and those were enough to survive.

Secondly, the writer suggests the edmontosaurs lived in herd. The article says that such as caribou and buffalo, live and migrate in herd because migration helps animals to coordinate. The lecturer, however, rebuts this by mentioning they did not migrate even they are found in herd. Additionally, they were in herd because they were protecting each other. He elaborates on this by bringing up the point that for example, Roosevelt Elk: they move in herd but they did not migrate.

Finally, the author posits that the edmontosaurs can migrate because they can travel for long kilometers. Moreover, it is stated in the article that they can run very fast, reaching speeds up to 45 kilometers per hour. In contrast, the lecturer’s position is the kid edmontosaurs can not run fast, move to warmer climate during the harsh article winter. The juveniles could not survive by themselves.
