The reading states that robustus was a scavenger. However, the lecturer claims that R.robustus was a successful predator because of the three following reasons.
The reading and the listening passages both discuss Repenomamus robustus and properties of this ancient mammal’s body which can be evidences that robustus was a predator or not. The lecturer claims that R.robustus definitely was a successful predator because of the three following reasons.
First, the lecturer casts doubt on statement from the article that R.robustus could not be hunter because it had as small body size as a modern domestic cat, while his supposed prey psittacosaurus had reached a length of 2 meters or more. In lecturer’s belief, it is utterly uncompelling because robustus, obviously, hunted babies of psittacosaurus or similar dinosaurus. Moreover, the size of the robustus’ stomach testifies that it could easily swallow and digest the babies of those dinisaurs.
Furthemore, the professor disagrees that the position of the legs prevented this mammal from running fast as the reading passage determines. Research confirms that he could reach speeds of up to 15 kilometers per hour. This information proves that R.robustus was a prosperous predator. The reading piece determines that this animal had very short legs, which presumably were rather suited for scavenging than for hunting, and it was not able to run after prey.
Finally, the speaker refutes the idea that R.robustus was actively hunted. On the contrary, she argues this mammal could eat prey without biting, as a whole. By knowing that R.robustus ate babies of dinosaurs she consider this evidence to be convincing, because it swallowed whole prey without preliminary chewing. This information challenges the statement from the reading passage about inevitable teeth marks on the bones of the animals that was eaten by predators, including R.robustus.
In conclusion, the speaker clarifies that R.robustus with a high probability was a predator and demonstrate strong arguments for supporting this point of view.
