The author of the reading believes that dinosaurs are endotherms, which are animal have constant body temperature. The lecturer casts doubt on the claims made in the article. She thinks that the provided arguments do not prove that dinosaurs were endotherms.
First of all, the author points out that some dinosaurs lived in the Polar regions, where animals could live only if the temperature of their body was higher than the surrounding environment. This point is challenged by the lecturer. She says that Polar regions were much warmer for nonendotherms animals to live there.
Secondly, the author contends that the dinosaurs had their leg positioned underneath their body so they can run faster and that is another argument to consider them as endotherms. The lecturer rebuts this point. She says that dinosaurs had this position of legs to support more body weight. He also adds being enormous was an advantage for them.
Finally, the author states that dinosaurs had Hevernias canal, that allowed animals to grow rapidly and fast. The lecturer, on the other hand, points that evidence showed that dinosaurs could stop growing or were growing slowly, which challenged the author's point.
In conclusion, the lecturer effectively casts doubt on all the claims presented in the reading.
