The reading claims that pterpsaurs were very large animals with a wingspan over 12 meters that could not flight and presents three reasons to support its approach. However, the lecturer finds all ideas which have been mentioned by the reading dubious and provides some evidences to refute them all.

At the first place, the author argues that these animals were cold-blooded like modern reptiles. As cold-blooded animals usually have a slow metabolism, they cannot generate enough energy to fly. In contrast, the professor brings up the idea that their fossils indicate that they have hair and fur covering on their skin. It is a common feature of warm-blooded animals that need high body temperature. The warm-blooded animals have a fast digestion system to supply enough power for flying.

Furthermore, the reading asserts that they were very heavy and massive because of their large body. So they could not able to flop their wing to stay stable on the sky. On the contrary, the speaker dismisses this issue due to the fact that they had a different anatomy. Although they were large sized animal, according to evidences, their bones were hollow. This characteristic reduce their weight. So their weight was light despite their large size and they could flop their wing to glide.

Finally, the reading passage holds the view that animals must run very fast to help them to jump and take off. According to records, they had very small and weak muscles in their back legs that present they could not run fast to take off. Conversely, the lecturer underlines the fact that they are different from birds. The birds run on two legs and must enough fast to fly based on their two limes. But the pterosaurs could run on four limes. So they could run fast enough to push of the ground by increasing their speed with four limes.
