The passage claims that the humpback whales may be navigating by the stars by pointing out three reasons for support. The professor, on the other hand, states that the mentioned theories are not convincing and refutes each of the author's reasons.
First of all, the writer goes on to mention that the humpback whales are intelligent enough to use stars for navigation. On the contrary, listening rejects this by explaining that there is no real connection between intelligent and cognitive ability. For example, some special birds that use stars for navigation, while they have a low intelligent. Then, cognitive is just an instinct ability they born with and not intelligent.
Furthermore, the reading argues that animals can migrate straight direction only when they are using external objects like stars to orient themselves. Conversely, the lecture proposed an opposite view as compared to that presented in the passage; he describes that some animals often use the Earth magnetic field as an external force. These type of animal preserve of magnetite to help them to orient by a magnetic field. The humpback whales also have biomagnetic on the back of its body.
Finally, the author explains that the humpback whales sometimes floating straight, when their head is above the water that looks like they are looking at the stars. The speaker, in contrast, rejects the author's view and illustrates the idea that other animals like sharks do the same thing while they do not use stars for navigation. Besides, they sometimes do spy-hopping during day-time when there are no stars in the sky. As a result, the professor believes that this theory is just pure speculation.
