The reading the lecture are both about the humpback whales that migrate to long distances. The author of the reading believes that the humpback whales use stars to navigate to for travel purpose . The lecturer, casts doubts on the claims made in the article. He thinks that the hypothesis is wrong and refutes each and every claims made in the passage.
First and foremost, the article points out that the humpback whales are intelligent and they are capable of using stars for navigational purposes. It is also mentioned that the humpback whales’ brain are powerful in making sense of night sky to orient by itself. The lecturer challenges this point. He provides a contradicting example by pointing out duck as an example which posses less intelligence that make uses of stars for navigational purpose. He suggests that intelligence doesn't correlate with navigation.
In addition to that, the author contends that the humpback whales orient themselves in straight lines using the external forces such as stars which are similar in birds. The lecturer rebuts this argument. He suggests that the whales use external forces to connect with earth's magnetic field using the whales’ brain's magnetic field presence.
Last but not least, the article notes that the whale pops its head out of the water which is behavior in order to check the direction of the stars. The lecturer, on the hand, posits that another ocean creature such as sharks that pops out of the water while swimming. This type of behavior is to look for food but not for navigation. Hence, the whale keeps its head out of water in order to look for predators not for in search of stars for navigation.
