Endotherms are animals such as modern birds and mammals that keep their body temperatures constant For instance humans are endotherms and maintain an internal temperature of 37 C no matter whether the environment is warm or cold Because dinosaurs were rep

The reading and the lecture are both about the confusion related to dinosaurs being endotherms. The author of the reading states that dinosaurs are endotherms where as the lecturers suggests that they are not. The lecturer casts doubt on the main points made in the reading using three examples.

Preeminently, according to the reading, dinosaurs are endotherms because there fossils have being found in polar regions. The author pointed out that animals who could maintain a temperature well above the surroundings would be able to survive in such regions. However, the lecturer disputes this point. He claims that polar regions were warmer in dinosaur's times as compared to today. He also suggested that they might have migrated or hibernated when it was cold.

By the same token, the reading states that dinosaurs had legs underneath their body which helped them with physical activities like running and also strongly suggested that they were endotherms. Nevertheless, the lecturer refutes this argument. He asserts that this particular positioning of legs also helps to support more weight which would have being advantageous to the dinosaurs as they were large.

In winding up, the reading contends that dinosaurs had Haversian canal, which helped the living animal to grow quickly. This was a typical characteristics of endothermy. In contract, the lecturer's stance was that dinosaurs were also found to have growth rings which contributed to inconsistent growth or rapid growth in particular environmental conditions. Hence, nothing definite could be concluded.
