R. robustus as a hunter

The author and the lecturer are both about the hypothesis regarding the nature of R. robustus. Whereas the author of the reading passage states that these species were not active hunters, the lecturer suggests that R. robustus were more actively involved in hunting than it has been thought of. The lecturer casts doubts on the main points made in the reading passage by providing three reasons.

First of all, according to the reading, due to the small size of R.robustus dinosaurs, they cannot hunt psittacosaurs. This is because the size of psittacosaurs and other similar dinosaurs was much larger in size in comparison to robustus dinosaurs. However, the lecturer refutes this point. She says that though they are smaller than other species but it is found that their body size was bigger than baby Psittacosaurs. Moreover, R. robustus mass is twice the mass of a dinosaur which is found in the digestive system.

Secondly, the reading states that P. robustus were more suitable for scavenging than hunting because of the shape and length of their legs. Due to these features, P. robustus was not able to run fast to catch psittacosaurs as they are much faster than R. robustus dinosaurs. Nevertheless, the lecturer denies the fact. She compares the characteristic of mentioned species with other dinosaurs whose leg shapes were of the same size as R. robusuts, and they still run very fast. Consequently, this proves that R. robustus dinosaurs were both active and successful hunters.

Finally, the reading claims that the bones found inside the digestive system of P.robustus have no teeth marks which prove that they do not belong to the hunter category. On the other hand, the lecturer believes that due to dinosaurs' powerful jaws and with no back teeth, P robustus prefer to shallow the food instead of chewing. This supports that the absence of teeth marks on the bone of psittacosaur dinosaurs does not prove that they were not a hunter.
