The author and the professor hold different views about whether dinosaurs are endotherms or not. According to the passage, dinosaurs were capable of keeping their body temperatures stable; however, the professor denies all the arguments presented in the reading.
The passage indicates that since scientists discovered dinosaur fossils in polar regions, they must have the capacity to keep themselves warm in cold environment; yet the professor points out that the polar regions were much warmer than today, so dinosaurs could live there when the climate was suitable and they might hibernate when the weather was cold too. That means the presence of fossils is not necessarily the proof of dinosaurs’ ability to keep body temperature constant.
The author points out that dinosaurs’ legs are beneath their bodies and so are modern endotherms’, so dinosaurs are very likely to be endotherms; on the other hand, the professor claims that dinosaurs’ legs were underneath because this could allow them to grow bigger. Growing bigger could a great advantage for dinosaurs, so the position of legs does not necessarily mean that they could run or they were endotherms.
The passage suggests that the bone structure of dinosaurs shows that they were endotherms, because their bones contain Haversian canals, which is an important feature of endotherms; however, the professor says that although there are Haversian canals, dinosaurs’ bones have growth rings. Growth rings prove that dinosaurs did not constantly grow fast. This indicates that they were not endotherms which can grow rapidly no matter how the climate changes.
