Stars navigation by Humpback whales
The reading and the lecture are both about stars navigation by humpback whales. The author of the reading feels that stars navigation by humpback whales is a distinct possibility. The lecturer challenges the claims made by the author. He is of opinion that stars navigation by humpback whales is fascinating, but the evidence is not convincing.
First, the author of the reading argues that humpback whales are intelligent. The article mentions that their brains have a higher degree of complexity and they use their cognitive ability to navigate by stars. This specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. He claims that there is no connection between their intelligence and their ability to navigate by using stars. Additionally, he says that some birds use stars for navigation, but they are not intelligent that much.
Secondly, the writer suggests that whales migrate in straight lines and use stars to navigate. In the article, it is said that whales rely on stars as external signs by which they maintain direction over long distances. The lecturer, however, rebuts this by mentioning that migrating in straight lines by using stars to navigate has a different explanation. He elaborates on this by bringing up the point that they use the external force of the earth's magnetic field rather than use stars to navigate.
Finally, the author posits that humpback whales exhibit unusual behaviors. Moreover, the article stated that the whales sometimes move straight up and their heads are above water and it seems that they are looking for stars to navigate. In contrast, the lecturer's position is that spy has nothing to do with stars. He notes that sharks do spy but they do not migrate and navigate, but rather they hunt so it is pure speculation not to navigate by stars.
In conclusion, the lecturer's opinion is opposing the author's opinion.
