TPO-49 - Integrated Writing Task Like many creatures, humpback whales migrate long distances for feeding and mating purposes. How animals manage to migrate long distances is often puzzling. In the case of humpback whales, we may have found the answer: the

Reading and lecture discusses about ability of hump back whales to navigate with stars in search of food and finding mate to far distance. Reading
suggests that humpback whales possess distinct trait of migrating through
stars, while lecture thinks that reasons explained in reading are
not logical.
First, reading argues that these whales have higher cognitive and sensory level to use
stars to direct themselves . In contrast, professor
thinks that there is no connection between intelligence and ability to use stars for direction. He further refutes this by providing example of duck, he says that duck naturally accquired feature of using star for direction and it nothing to do with higher cognitive level as ducks do not possess high intellectual level. Second, reading claims that humpback whales travel in straight lines, that can happen only
by using any external landmarks. However, lecture refutes this statment in of the article.
He says that, migration in straight lines occurs due to capability of these whales to orient
themselves to the earth's magnetic field. Furthermore, he adds that brain of this whale contain
chemical called magnetide which is sensitive to earth's magnetic field that makes orientation possible.
Finally, reading states that these whales float up and down that is spy hoping in the ocean to see the stars to guide
for traveling long distance. In contrary, lecture states that this spy hoping is rare among animals but
common among non-migrating species such as shark in search of prey. Furthermore, he says that whale perform this
activity at day time, where there are hardly any stars in the sky. As as result, professor successfuly refutes the points made in lecture.
