The reading and the speaker discuss whether Pterosaurs, which were a kind of reptiles could fly or just glide. The author of the reading gives three reasons to support his idea that the Pterosaurs were not able to fly. However, the speaker casts doubt on the claims made in the article. He believes that the Pterosaurs have capability to fly.
First of all, the author of the reading points out that Pterosaurs were certainly cold-blooded that means they had low metabolism that did not provide enough energy for them to fly. This point is challenged by the speaker. He restates the fact that experts examined from Pterosaurs’ fossils and discovered that they had fur and hair that helped to maintain the temperature in their bodies. Therefore, they probably could get adequate energy to fly.
Secondly, the author of the reading contends that Pterosaurs were too heavy to flap their wings. The speaker rebuts this argument by saying that the bone of the Pterosaurs were hollow. Hence they could easy to lighten their weigh to fly.
Finally, the author of the reading states that Pterosaurs had weak and small back leg muscle that prevented them to run fast to jump into the air. The speaker, on the other hand, opposes this point by saying that bird usually take off by two limes. Meanwhile, Pterosaurs had four legs that enabled them to run fast and take off into the air easily.
