tpo 34 the reasons OF Steller's sea cow extinction
The material discusses the reasons of Steller's sea cow extinction. While the reading suggests three causes of this extinction, the listening challenges all these causes that outlined in the reading passage.
First, the author states that native Siberian overhunted sea cows because they were a good source of food in a harsh environment. On the other hand, the professor opposes this and points out that sea cows were a massive creature, one of them was nine-meter-long and ten tons weight. The lecturer adds that a couple of sea cows could feed Siberian people for a month. in addition to that, the Siberian population was not very large, so they did not need to hunt a lot of sea cows. The speaker says that native Siberian could not take sea cows to the point of extinction.
Second, the writer mentions that ecosystem disturbances caused the reduction of kelp which was the main food source of sea cows. On the contrary, the professor refutes that and posits that if the ecosystem changed, it might cause a decline in other marines, such as whales. The lecturer explains that there was not a report of whales' decline. According to the lecture, there was no indication of broadening ecosystem disturbances, so kelps were enough, and sea cows did not have any experience of food shortage.
Third, the reading cites that European fir traders had weapons that allowed them to hunt sea cows quickly, so they hunted the last sea cows. Conversely, the professor contradicts this and brings up that sea cows extinct soon after the European arrival. The lecturer adds that when European fur traders arrived, the sea cows were already declined. The sea cows started to decline a hundred years before Europeans' arrival. The professor concludes that it was supposed to be another reason that responsible for this decline.
