The reading and the listening passages are both about humpback whales. While the reading passage provides three evidence to support that the whales use stars to navigate for migration, the listening passage casts doubts each point by saying it is not very convincing.
Firstly, the article states that since the humpback whales are intelligent and their brain is complex; thus, their brain has the ability to navigate by using stars as a guide. However, the professor rebuts this point by saying that there is no connection between intelligence and using stars to navigate. Ducks, for example, use stars to navigate, but they are average in term of intelligence. Thus, this evidence is not accurate.
Additionally, the reading passage mentions that animals maintain movement straight by sending some signs to an object. He adds that the humpback whales do not rely on land features because they swim in open oceans, but they rely on stars. However, the lecture refutes this point. He states that there is a different explanation for the humpback whales to navigate in straight lines, which is biomagnetic. The humpback whales have a substance in their brains that are sensitive to the earth magnetic field. Therefore, these substance suggests that the humpback whales use them in order to navigate to migrate.
Finally, the reading passage claims that the humpback whales use spy-hopping to look upward for stars to navigate. In another hand, the professor says that spy-hopping use by sharks and they use it to hunt, also they use during the day where is no stars. Thus, the function of spy- hopping is just a speculation.
All in all, the lecturer clearly debunks all of the three evidence that was supported in the reading passage.
